PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I didn't hear your voice
but in my mind
I can hear it now
that sound of you
saying you hated to leave
me
such a lovely regret
you so elegantly expressed
not so much with your words
but more so with your
tender heart's bitter lament..........
the hours without your
usual tireless presence
managed to drain my mind of
its usual chirpy chipper edge
that lack of expected connection
cut short I suppose
made it easier for sleep to slip
from consciousness's  ledge
and I hugged myself with
my warm blanket of
knowing you are missing me
until the darkness
of my bedroom's comfort
enveloped the dullness
around me that my eyes last seen
a bed, a book, a dog, the curtains
vague outline
then that beautiful feeling of nothing
but my sweet memory of
your words written for only my
eyes to see
how peacefully I slept with your memories
so very gently holding me
you've no concept of the joy
that the mere thoughts of you bring
your voice
your breathing
your songs
the mere exhale of your breath
is the peace of spirit alas touching spirit
no better words for this can I better express
oh except of course
that
I love you so!...............................
