remembering you
i trace your face in photos
feeling your warm flesh
tasting your sweet lips
kissing each eyelid gently
breathing "i love you"
~though you were shifted
the storm has passed untimely
sand and sea commit~
~a bearing presence
new moon gesturing gift
songbird flutters near~
A beautiful traditional haiku, Risha. Thank you for this!
dew on summer lawns~
memories of embracing
and being embraced
you hold me so close
our heartbeats reverberate
our bodies tremble
your lips devour mine
starving for the nourishment
only love can give
precious minutes left
before another parting
which will be the last
you peer into me
needing to see certainty
needing to believe
it's there in my eyes
eternity stretching out
whatever happens
your tears wet my face
a sweet smile of gratitude
and just one last kiss
"until then, my soul"
you whisper, rising to go
my heart goes with you
you stand uncertain
broken shards of blue and white
curtains whipped by wind
wherever you go
no matter how long it takes
i'll find you again
of three thousand miles
a barrier is made sure
how flies my sad heart
Beautiful and poignant, Daddieo.
across barriers
the heart flies on wings of hope...
the door stands ajar
