Sighs...
@Uootem
such inherent perfection
each memory of you (sigh)
heart-tied... tongue-tied
I have no courage to break this silence
with the brashness of speaking
but only utter emotions in whispered poem (sigh)
because there is a lost summer sun burning
within my mind
that holds me inescapable
to dreams, so that they are... (sigh)
for I am time-entangled to
the memory of you. (sigh)
you arms that held me in warmth... (sigh)
your lips that tasted of heaven... (sigh)
your love that kept me spell-bound (sigh)
it is your eyes that I remember so well (sigh)
it is the softness in your voice that makes me smile... (sigh)
and I would smile (sigh)
I would love you with all that I am
living endeared highlights of life (sigh)
but there are only blurred memories of you
bled into aching "What could be"s...
(my eyes close tighter...sigh)
the time past seems a mile wide (sigh)
a ghost town of the heart
where echoes of laughter (sigh)
are all that is heard...
(sigh and swallow)
...silence... my heart a vast and empty warehouse
of words for the poet to offer without someone...
amazing to consume them.
(Why is it so hard to keep breathing?... sigh)
