"Yours in Everything"

 

 I sit forlorn in the dark

Guiding my thoughts to return

To the ways of sweet memories and you.

Hoping to find all we left behind.

 

Like the soothing touch of your hands on my troubled soul

Or the river-like calmness your laughter brings when it fades away.

I recall these and walk further into:

 

Your silence as your listened to my dreams

Like a child charmed by a fairytale

To the time, you bent your ears to listen to the sound of my kisses on your neck

And you leaped like flames to embrace me.

 

That morning before this night,

With bags set for a journey,

Tears withstood the passion in my eyes

I tried to muster a word but I needed your touch.

 

This one touch that leads to everything...

 

Though we seem apart from eachother,

It shouldn't part the ways of our heart,

You should hang our memories on your walls like I do,

Every stare will stir fervently our longing for everything we share.

 

Yours in Everything

Timelessly romantic. Love goes the distance. I hope that whatever has caused the separation will soon pass and when the distance is over the only change it would make will be a few extra poems.
