Memories

Another one of my poetic indulgences. Here I am dedicating this to everyone who at some point in their lives has loved & lost. Hope they rest in peace and know that they will always be in our thoughts and hearts ... 

Standing at the pier, out to the horizon I gaze

An eternity has gone by, but feels like mere days

Gentle waves crashing onto the rocky shore

But even this exquisite canvas holds no allure

The sky is clear, desolate stillness of a storm past

You have been gone, but the memories forever last

I feel your breath as the wind whispers my name

Try hard as I might, this pain I cannot tame

The moments to sundown are all that’s left

Today was the day when we did part

My world came crashing, I was shattered and bereft

Even now, still missing is a piece of my heart

Walk down this lane every year I do

Lone figure here, I let down the walls

Love, yearning and pain, my heart aches for you

With faith that you are here somewhere my heart calls

You are no longer here, in my mind I know

Left me behind, you have a long time ago

But you are here for me, I still am sure

Till that’s true, this pain I shall endure

Bid goodbye I do, with the fading light

Walk back to the world into the endless night

I know someday I will see you again

Embrace you, my lost love, let go of the pain.
