Like Zephyr Breeze

Listen to poem:

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. For Brian Strand's Contest 228 Max.16 lines poem.

You did well to repost this gem of a poem, Charm! It's one of my favourites...a most beautiful yet melancholic poem which treats love with soft-mellow feelings and camouflaged yearnings. ~ Regards // paul
