It seems to me but Yesterday

On the edge of the sand I sit alone embracing a worn out sweater thinking of a smile written in the stars Thinking of love which never lived to know its depth Wet lashes flutter as tears spill down my cheek I gasp for air and choke in topaz dreams which die ever so slow before they are even born My heavy eyelids gaze into the sky waiting for the moon to move on Cos I know... The moon always moves on But this is the dark of darkest nights where everything is still It seems to me but yesterday You were here by my side and I knew you'd come to me but you never did Maybe in a tomorrow or maybe the day after or ever after a soft breeze would breathe upon these lips Maybe I will hear your whisper playing in my ear But till then the sterile sea would be alone the wafting wave will fade in empty wombs Till then... I won't be here Till then... Each thought of you every reminder of who You were would all be gone. Charma
This is a fiction poem inspired by the song 'Please Remember 'from the movie 'a walk to remember' www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN-1OneQYu8

    Oh shucks, what a heartbreaking poem but very very heartfelt and beautifully written--This is very moving and your short lines worked so well here. I can't help but feel like I am there. I loved that book by Nicholas Sparks! I had the privilege of having a book signed by him and of course I just had to hug & kiss the guy! I will be faving this gem dear Charma.

    Cami insisted on watching this movie together a couple of years ago...(Because she had already watch it and she wanted to laugh at me or at my reaction...) ...and of course: she laughed! : ) This poem is so sad, Charmaine...wonderfully sad. I love it. He'll be there, "Maybe in a tomorrow/or maybe the day after"...but he'll be there! : ) TMFs! Excellent, one of your best! Ruben.

    You have the heart of a poet and the skill of a musician with love sonnet, I pray that the moon finds a pocket to hide in until you are ready to enjoy it's rays under love's precious spell, hugs vie
