I'M Still Looking For You

Days of wine and roses, Watching birds and running horses; Gracing well with a toss of dime, I wish I could freeze the time. Swimming together in ocean deep, Hugging tight in our sleep; Saving memories that we could keep, but the test of time was steep. We parted ways, like a flash of light, you disappeared before my sight; I searched for you in shades of hues, in skies of gray and fields of blues. My heart had given a few spaces for company in lonesome places; But no one takes your place, it's true, I am still looking for you. Should I grow old without your company, and if in search for you, I roam, I'll keep with me your memory, for you will always be my home. *in memory of the one* September 3, 2022 A Brian Strand Premiere Choice poetry contest Sponsored by: Brian Strand
