Tis of your beauty, I was adrift in wonder, a sultry emotion left breathless in passion's keep. Ghosts now live between life and death in the mist of my memories. Recalling the soft touch of your love even now, especially now, still haunts me. I am lost in the pain of my longest walk from our last goodbye. Old friends seem harder to see now, their laughter even harder to hear...

Hauntingly beautiful Charlie! The memory is such a gift and it is so sad that some lose their memories for what ever reason. My dearest friend is losing hers. Sometimes she remembers me.

Very soul stirring poem, Charlie. The last stanza has a powerful crescendo. The telltale sign of a great poem. This is a great poem emotionally driven by an excellent driver. Keep pouring the love down from your glow cloud pen, Mr. Rain Man. Love and smiles forever.
