                    I adored you

I loved you near and afar.

I loved your soft voice and beautiful face.

I stood near you and we held hands and shared drink.

We traveled California One and I watched your dance

on the quiet beaches.

We found private places where you laid bare and free.

I could see a woman I beloved in silence .

But my need for you.

You never felt.

Because I didn’t show you, who I was

All I wanted was you,

Near but far away.

Today I’m alone without you.

And you,

so far away from me.

Today my only  wish,

is that I told you I adored you.

First of all, I LOVE that ring she wears in the photo, double rings, chained in a handcuff allusion, devotion complete.
I see you sitting rapt on the sunset-gilded beach, watching her dance as if time slowed down and the moment was eternal. Too often we think it is, and never speak the moment out loud, then regret it when laughing time speeds back up and it is too late.
This is what I read/heard/understood and this I loved.

Thank you my friend for reading and the comment. Some people. Even not touched or known. Their energy for life make you wish for wild dance and song.

The woman in photos is just as stunning as your words.
As usual, I'm speechless, lacking words strong enough to show my love for your works.
I applaud you, sir.

She is a amazing dancer. I needed a beautiful woman to give life to the words. Thank you for reading and the comment.

I can relate. I regret never telling someone that i kinda liked him. Was in school. So shy.

The sad part of life. Not trying or attempting love for someone who make us smile and laugh. Thank you for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

This is such a beautiful poem.I love the way you described the feelings of a lover who is separated form his beloved and his urge to embrace her again . very nice . mind blown.

Thank you for reading and the kind review. I do appreciate.

Loving someone who doesn't return the feeling is such a hard thing to live with. If only he'd share who he was and and showed her his admiration, things that take courage.
Such a beautiful poem. Thank you for the read.

dear John... Your poem reflects a beautiful
feeling expressed with gentle persuasion.
May the New Year bring memories of
dancing on the beach and dreams come true.

[MandaBear]

Aww this is really sweet. Anyone who feels this way about someone would love to hear this poem. So good. 100%

[Coyote Poetry]

They would. Some words become wishes with distance and time apart. Thank you for reading and the comment dear poet.

[J. F. Charleston]

Well not really just words there. I connected with this really quickly and knew where you were coming from. Although my experience was also physical distance and spiritually. Your words also opened up memories I cast aside. Not to worry good ones came and it was nice. Keeps me on my toes. Glad to see you're still writing amazing things.
