Charmaine Chircop Poet Free verse

Just Like the Wind

Before I ever saw those eyes

How deeply I loved you

Before you read my first thought

I found you

Before you ever dreamt of my lips

I kissed your smile

I meant nothing to you

and you were already my world

I lived in every breath you inhaled

till that same breath became

an exhile to a ghostly past

Tonight,I live for what was

Tomorrow I live to exist

for what remains

For what remains 

from that yesterday 

before I stopped calling your name

I stopped following footprints

Stopped searching your arms

Stopped seeking the moon

and believing in stars

And Oncemore...

In my soul's dusky night

I will remember you...

and who We used to be

Through silent distance

I 'd feel you within me

Ever so soft,just like the wind

Like zephyr breeze 

which left my cheek

yet lingers sweetly

into my sleep.
