I Saw You Walking Back To Me
A million thought
and you are not with me
Nights,days,wasted in waiting
All I wanted in my heart was to love you
Years pass by, I still recall your name
yet I do wonder, if a time,a moment comes
when you will forget me
and I would barely remember you
Winter follows another Winter in fear
in fear that my spirit fails me
In fear that my eyelids close
before these embered lips
ever get a chance to taste
frosted manna from your tongue
and fresh raindrops from your kiss
In the stillness of this place I write to you
like I have always done
From this little room
I count a thousand stars
I dream a million dreams
For instance,I dream of purple dew
falling softly from the veiling of silk sky
lacing the emptiness of our arms
But stars fade so quick ,and dreams die too soon
Stars fade,dreams die
Yet I swear,I swear I saw you yesterday
I saw you walking back to me
I swear,it was your fingertips playing with my hair
It was your breath upon my neck's nape
It was your smile,your eyes
I swear I saw you walking back to me
Yet you never did
and deep within the furnace of my soul
I know you never will.
A fiction poem inspired by a book I read
in my teens called ~Wuthering Heights~
