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…patterns 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 now 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 your 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 count the days until the time “When once again of destined charms, I hold you gently in my arms”

If life could take a different course, but the call of duty leaves man with an aching heart and sepia dream locked in a photograph. What a tender and sad poem. Amitiés

It's time for a next time! To make the sepia brightly coloured again. I hope it will be time soon, my friend

Thanks so much Darren. This was written to a photograph so not actually what I am feeling.

I can feel that wanton feeling...the aching of absence..the X's on the calendar....This makes me very sad....Yet I have to admit...It is beautifully sad and melancholic...Im touched deeply.

Yes Chris you know how to write and reach your readers. Need I say more. Yes, but I will end and spare you the bla bla bla by me. This is beautiful poetry. Have a wonderful night.

Thanks so very much my friend. This was actually written to a photo prompt of a soldier (I assumed at war) holding a photograph of his wife or girlfriend. It was an old photo and it was in sepia tones and I could feel his longing in the photo. I am happy you liked this.
