"a Picture"

A picture in my hand that tells of a time... Takes me to another day when it was mine... The picture not so old or even faded... Which makes it so real ,not even dated... If I can climb into this scene I might have held you more... Maybe a few more kisses or a dance across the floor... The shine in your eyes tells me you were into this... Your hands around my shoulders and how you leaned over to kiss... I can still feel your cheek on the side of my neck as you took me to a place ... I wonder if you knew how my heart melted in your sweet embrace... Still I hold this picture in my hand that brings me far away... I can just close my eyes and wander just like its today...

A genuinely moving poem filled with longing for what might have been, Michael. Who knows? She may be looking back on the times you shared, wishing the same things you are. Very lovely! Best wishes, Carolyn
