Charmaine Chircop Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

Like Zephyr Breeze

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 through every breath you inhaled

till that same breath became a ghost from the past.

Tonight I exist to live for what was...

Tomorrow I live to exist for what will be.

I stopped calling your name

I stopped searching your footprints

I stopped seeking those arms    

Stopped believing in stars.

Yet sometimes     in my soul's dusk of night

through your cold absence  I feel you within me

Ever so soft     just like the wind

Like zephyr breeze which left my cheek    yet never gone.
