A Lover Remembered

Sometimes I think, sometimes I wander
In my mind I often ponder

Where I would be, what I would do
If God forbid, I ever lost you

No matter how long, no matter the distance
Id travel that road to the end of existence

To feel once again that comforting place
Wrapped in your arms, a loving embrace

There are these things to witch I hold true
The seven great reasons I could never forget you.

The touch of your hand. The slightest caress.
In the heat of your kiss I know I’ve been blessed

Your taste is of honey that is fresh from the comb
Reminding me of solace, the tranquility of home

Your eyes so serene, in comfort I dwell
The moment I saw them, in love with you I fell.

Around you of Jasmine, the smell I remember
Erasing the fear, to you I surrender

The skin of an angel, through my hands I can feel
The unbridled passion, this has to be real.

The waves of your hair, in dark amber it keeps me
Locked at your side is where I truly wish to be

Never more daunted by the shackles of time
To me God gave you, and to you all that is mine

The End

An eternal bliss whenever she is around you, never a single moment that she's out of sight of you with your clear image of her in your heart and mind. Congratulations, Ryland on your well deserved win on this contest of Audrey Carey. (^_^) Noel.

Lovely couplets with the best description of longing and saddness. And the pain of being without. Ryland, hope you never lose this person that complete you. You would be so torn apart, out of the wonderful gift God, gave you in your soulmate. Loved and enjoyed your poem,..p.d.
