I Miss Your Touch

I miss your touch
Your soft caress I love so much

I miss your kiss
I reach out through the mist

I miss your eyes
Staring into mine

I miss your heartbeat 
Beating strong and free

I miss your embrace 
And your arms around my waist

I miss the nights
The soft whispers of our flights

I miss your laugh
Oh the time we made a pact

I miss your face
And the lines I used to trace

I miss your love 
As you gave me all I’d want

I miss your fingers
On my back they would linger

I miss your skin
And it’s feel as we lay in

I miss your thoughts
You shared of wanderlust 

I miss your grin 
And the stubble on your chin

Every day I think about you
All our days felt brand new

I feel you all around me
Even though my eyes don’t see

I’m old now too as you had been
The day you left, even still I grin

“I’ll meet you on the other side”
You said to me in your last sigh

My eyes they tear
Though you’re not near

I feel you here
Looking from that sphere

Up in the great beyond
You beckon me come

I want to go 
But I know you know

My work’s not done
I tarry for our son

He is not yet a man
He needs me in this land

But in my dreams 
You’re still with me

And one day soon 
I’ll be with you

Justin Bordner Date: 12/31/2020 2:36:00 PM This beautiful poetry of you, touches my heart Poetess...J.A.B. Login to Reply C. A. Burkett Date: 12/31/2020 3:29:00 PM Thank you so much. I had hoped the emotion would come through. These are real feelings of a love gone by. I wrote this poem today the last day of the year in a way to say goodbye, heal, and move on, yet still not forgetting where I’ve been. I love the release that a pen on paper can provide.
