Longing

I still miss her mystery, mornings 
when I'd wake beside her and 
nuzzle her nape, hear her 
breathing so softly, so sleek under 
satins that sculpted her beautiful shape.

My days are now vacant, 
evenings are empty with no one to hold, 
to ponder and pattern ambitions
together for ever, pale dreams 
that are now so far distant and cold.

I think you sent this to me by email; it rings a bell and a sweet one at that. Only two verses, one so content and the other filled with sadness. So goes the way of love.

Beautifully written but so very sad. Brings a lump to the throat and tear to the eye. So sorry if this speaks fact not fiction, for this is powerfully penned. Kindest thoughts, Anna-Marie.
