- I Miss You -

The strong wind hits me on my cold cheek The bird's escape across the great ocean My tears, my longing for summer that was Over high mountains, through deep forests Let your fingers glide easily over my mouth Rhythm of the chest, the heart is beating, soul burns Yearning expression - heat of the closeness Compared to eternity where the storm has subsided At dusk I hear the sounds of hours we shared You are far away, yet close The yearning for you is a flame that will never burn down 18.10.2014 A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

I love the first line of this poem. It's a reality check that literally hits you in face and a great contrast to "Compared to eternity where the storm has subsided." Its mystically romantic while connecting mind, body, soul, memories and longing for love all into one near perfect poem. Well done Ann Lise. Peace, Terry

Sensual and romantic, but let me ask: how do you combine these 2 images of remoteness and closeness"You are far away, yet close"?

Dear Anne-Lise, each time we lose someone we love, we are inspired to write poems like this sad one. Indeed, the "yearning" flame never completely burns down, but we learn to live with loss as it's part of life. A very touching poem, dear. Love, carolyn
