Remember My Love

Oh John! My John!
  How my heart longs 
  to see your kind eyes
  to look upon that boyish smile
  to hear that booming laugh
  I yearn to have your body next to mine
  to feel the comfort of your loving embrace
  to have your strong arms wrapped around me
  to hear the sound of your reassuring voice
  Like the scent of you in our home,
  the pain of your loss still lingers
  My heart will always ache for you
  for our love was without boundaries.

Oh Mary! My Mary!
   How I wish I could be there
   to touch your beautiful face
   to wipe away all your tears 
   to erase your every fear
   I wish I had the chance
   to tell you how much I love you   
   to kiss you as if I knew it were the last
   To wrap you in my arms like never before
   I would walk away from heaven’s gate,
   just to gaze at your lovely face 
   and lock you in a never-ending embrace
  My Love! My Mary!

I am missing you and being here destroyer. I may need a break after this semester. I failed algebra last semester and had to take it over this time.I didn't even know I had another poem featured, so that will show you how little I have been up here.

This was written for my Aunt Mary shortly after my Uncle John passed away. They had a relationship that was beyond comparison. Some of the feelings and words expressed by Mary in this piece came right from my Aunt. Kim

Once again, great structure from two lovers' perspective. The alive and the dead. Intriguing, and beautiful. This kind of poetry sticks. Love the flow and the emotional pull it gave me. Thanks a mill for posting these! Can't wait to read some more! Always, Laura

Love your comment Laura. I wrote this for my Aunt Mary when my Uncle John passed away. Their connection after years of marriage struck me profoundly.
