Tim Smith Poet Free verse

Haven'T Gotten Over You

Peeking through my corner bedroom window

playing hide and seek

 the ocean's breath pushes through

the semitransparent white curtains 

allowing the sun to shine and smile

upon my half-opened squinted eye.

I close my eyes and try to dream

dream of that night

dream of you and me

that star filled summer sky

laying on a blanket overlooking the sea

that glimmer as I gazed into your eyes

I remember your killer little smile

as we talked of the future

 I blushed when you touched my chest

oh how fast my heart did beat

after only one sip of wine

 I knew you were going to be mine

and I was going to be all yours

It seems just like yesterday  

enjoying a perfect moonlight kiss

you wrapped in my arms

how could one ever forget

now twenty years or so have passed

and I still haven't gotten over you yet

Carol Eastman August 20, 2015 at 1:08 PM Twenty years?... I thought you were a romantic... sweet young thing... yourself. Should have known that anyone who can be that romantic and draw us in so completely has a little experience with the pen and la amour... You still make me sigh! I think you've become the 'Sigh Master'! A worthy title I do think.
