“Memory is a treasure … When it hurts ”
Miss You …
The playful laughter of a pillow fight
the sweet delight of daylight lust
a chocolate fondue and the taste of you
moonlit walks with a warm embrace
the sight of myself in your eyes
and the sparkle of your soul
the light caress of your skin
and a silence that screams ~ i love you
the sharing of dreams and memories,
of nightmares and desires
the surprising little love notes
tucked away in my pockets
the gentle touch of your lips
and the warmth of your breath on my neck
the intoxicating smell of your perfume
and that crooked little grin…
but
who are …you
a dream
a desire
a hope
a shadow that lingers
but is forever out of touch
have we met
or will we meet
the heart aches
time marches on
maybe our time has past
hopefully it has yet to come
where did i find these words
you ask
they are forever in my heart and soul
squeezing
tearing
turning
my very being into a wretched nightmare
then there is hope…
the love that was
the love that will never be
the dream of hope
of desire
of delight and
despair…
that dream
forever haunts this tortured soul
we stare at the moon with wonder
we glance at passers by with unspoken words
we walk through destiny’s garden
forever wanting
waiting
wishing
is it you i love ?
or love its self…
the fates laugh
“is it worth it ?”
we ask
what else is there…
this
is what I miss…
