Fountain and Flower

I’ve seen him before, 

amidst the trees in the park 

where he parted the underbrush 

and said, “found you!”

I’ve watched him before, 

walking, talking, 

singing along with the birds in the day

or the crickets at night 

on our walks back home. 

His voice was a joyous ring in it’s own key. 

I knew him many years ago - 

we held hands underneath sunsets.

We made them glow, 

convinced that the stars spelt out our names.

My lovely man, one day you will come home.

'His voice was a joyous ring in it’s own key.'

This has a lovely resonance, the voice of love distant but not forgotten. i liked a lot about this poem,it was definitely my kind of romantic! fantastic.

Amazing one!
So many emotions and feelings, all conveyed so passionately and gracefully!
Love this- "We made them glow,
convinced that the stars spelt out our names."
Brings back some beautiful almost-forgotten memories from my childhood!
Thanks for this!

So beautifully written and conveyed. I wonder why he is gone from such a love...these memories, so vivid and tender evoke a sadness...and yet, there is always that hope that he will return.
