I woke from my dream
You had fooled me again
For you were not there
Yet I breathed you in
Your warmth always by my side
Your gentle heartbeat
You walk by my side
You are here in everything
That I see and touch
You left me alone
A houseful of memories
A heart in darkness

This made me tear up. So lovely.
ReplyDeleteA very lovely tribute, but very sad. Have a happy day, my friend.
ReplyDeleteA very sad poem. It is in those moments when we first awaken, between the unconscious and the conscious that we feel our departed loved ones close by. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteTouching poem.
ReplyDeleteInexplicable why God does this... Living without a loved one is so tough...
That is SO moving.
ReplyDeleteDreams like that can feel so real, and are so heartbreaking when you wake up. What I like about this poem, Old Egg, is the depth of love that created such a void when one departed. Beautiful piece!
