But You are Not Here

@uootem

The whispering laughter of my memory
explores the moments I once shared with you,
as if it happened only yesterday... like I still knew you.
the gentle heat of mid-afternoon sun fills my heart.
I reach out to touch you... but you are not here.

my heart pumps warmth that I knew in your Love,
making my entire body tingle with passion.
the breeze is your breath that can be the colors I see
when my eyes are closed... but you are not here.

like pushing through time and searching for heat,
the air is textured with the fragrance of your skin
the thickening makes every aroma full and sweet,
tenderly ripe and perfect... but you are not here.

my eyes are the pools of love for my deepest yearning
reflecting you, like yours are the fires that burn within
and search me deep and find me out... revealing secrets
we are one again in this world... but you are not here.

I would give you the gift of knowing my every dream
lost lover of mine, muse of my poetic soul
with love in your eyes, and all of your beauties.
we are closer now than ever... but you are not here.

I am intrigued by your smile, that flashes across your face,
lips burning and touchable... moistened by a lasting love
melting my palms as I caress your blushing softness carefully,
I kiss you... I fall in love with you all over again... but you are not here.
