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.

Such feelings in this, I am inadequate to say how this affects me.

Such a moving and sad piece Keith. Your verses run smoothly into one another, yet very heartfelt and lonely. Another masterpiece written by you. May God Bless you and yours!

Perfect description of love lost whatever the reason.
