A Yorkshire Poet Poet Free verse

In the blink of an eye

I see you there then in the blink of an eye you’re gone. The body remains there but the soul has moved on.
I remember the times when we danced in the rain and the snow. Wet and cold we were but our hearts were of love aglow.

I look at you now but know you’re not there. Whoever chose to steal your soul for me does not care. 
In the blink of an eye as time had moved on. The air, water, sky in the world - is it really there now that all the love has gone?

I remember your face and I remember your smile. I sometimes hear your voice and catch your glimpse through my eyes. In the blink of an eye then you’re gone. I see your face in the clouds, rub my eyes and slowly move on.
