Charmaine Chircop Poet Free verse

I Saw You Walking Back To Me

A million thought

and you are not with me

Nights,days,wasted in waiting

All I wanted in my heart was to love you

Years pass  by, I still recall your name

yet I do wonder, if a time,a moment comes

when you will forget me

 and  I would barely remember you
   
Winter follows another Winter in fear

in fear that my spirit fails me

In fear that my eyelids close

before these embered lips

 ever get a chance to taste 

frosted manna from your tongue

and fresh raindrops from your kiss

In the stillness of this place I write to you

like I have always done

 From  this little room 

I count a thousand stars

I dream a million dreams

For instance,I dream of purple dew
 
falling softly from the veiling of silk sky

lacing  the emptiness of  our arms

But stars fade so quick ,and dreams die too soon

Stars fade,dreams die

Yet I swear,I swear I saw you yesterday

I saw you walking back to me

I swear,it was your fingertips playing with my hair

It was your breath upon my neck's nape

It was your smile,your eyes

I swear I saw you walking back to me

Yet you never did

and deep within the furnace of my soul

I know you never will.

 


A fiction poem inspired by a book I read
in my teens called ~Wuthering Heights~

Darren Watson March 14, 2014 at 3:28 PM Bronte country is a few minutes from my home . I haven't been there for a year or two but you took me back with this poem . Daz Darren Watson March 17, 2014 at 11:49 AM The lake district is truly beautiful as you say Charmaine , Devon is too , The Yorkshire dales are fabulous , Bournemouth , I always thought it was for old people , I had better check it out , Charmaine Chircop March 15, 2014 at 2:28 AM I have to go to Gretna Green..I heard about it and the story re couples who are forbid to marry going to that place to marry in the past..Yes ..that s with my top ten next favourites.Few yrs ago We went to lake district,t was beautiful,I even loved Devon's countryside and portsmouth,Had a chance to stay three nights at the isle of wight.We ve been to the midlands too,even to .other sides such as brighton ,were in suffolk and Norwich .The place I visited most was Bournemouth .It has something which keeps calling me there.Every year We talk about going to another country in Europe but it always end up..England Ireland Scotland Wales : )..Strange but true.We just love the language;the people ,the forests mountains lakes and the whole package :.).Yes Gretna Green ..sure wanna go there Darren Watson March 14, 2014 at 4:53 PM Of course a romantic lady like yourself should head for Gretna Green , That's where couples elope to . The altar is a blacksmiths anvil . You pass through some of the most spectacular scenery in the whole wide world. Charmaine Chircop March 14, 2014 at 4:39 PM Taking Note of this..tnks so much : ) Darren Watson March 14, 2014 at 4:20 PM If you do go to Whitby Charmaine , Please look above the harbour and see the old ruined abbey , Here Bram Stoker wrote of Dracula , You really feel it . A couple of miles up the road is Runswick bay . Take a note book because you'll have a thousand poems whirling about in your mind within minutes.

Sandip Goswami March 14, 2014 at 3:26 AM Poetry is not story or essay or news...Poetry is rhythm of life like heart-beat . Working smoothly without any over react ...I like fiction . I love maximum effects with minimum materials ... Best wishes from India...
