Sepia Dreams

Sepia Dreams “Let me take from this, your kiss, the taste of you my lips shall miss” So long since I held you X’s on the calendar days…patterned of my missing Promises made on long distant lines and letters sent, penned of love’s smiles on sleepless nights “My heart it finds the lonely view of all my days away from you” Loneliness the common as passing time mounts, your kiss my mind imagines in the haze of life Duty calls, yet my heart is not in it, for on that day I released it to you “While on this journey’s winding path my love held in a photograph” Sepia dreams in brilliant colors, to hold that goodbye kiss in my hands, lingering in my tear splashed eyes… I hold my breath until the time “When once again of destined charms, I hold you tightly in my arms”

Absence and longing are well reflected in these words, Chris. I also like the lone-standing lines with their internal rhymes. // paul

Good styling and impressively romantic lines. Who has not kissed a picture, touched it tenderly through eyes of longing? You captured it all here, Chris and I loved the read. Hugs ... CayCay
