"Sweet Nothings..."

Tuesdays and I have "history"

Today's have been "wonderings" and thoughts that go nowhere, mean little, just echoes behind my eyes. 

"Sweet Nothings..."

The hardest part
is reaching
- to draw you close -
closer...
and the fading inside
as you drift away.

I held you tight -
felt your hands,
your fingertips...
your breath.

...and I let you go
because its what we do
- let go.

I touched you
without touching you,
held you
without holding you,
and felt you smile from the inside.

...and now its morning
and time to dream - again.

That was in a word, inspired. I loved the flow and emotion emitted though this short but passionate poem, that oozes love and desire. Great read.

Wanting, even needing that someone who remains forever just out of reach...and making do with dreams!

[asdarkeyesclose]

so moving, the contrasts, near and far- we gather those we love to us and never expect to have to let go :)

a dream within a dream within a dream...

Good morning! Beautiful words describing such tender feelings. You've reached every heart that accepts your reaching out, fancies "themselves" the one you have touched. In spite of your letting go, you and your impression will always remain.
"Smiles are like new dawns, aren't they?" I'm smiling and I thank you.

Well penned my friend, Are you teaching history or learning it? I prefer to be making history myself. Dreams make us poets filled with inspiration!

[Aramey]

Excellent work, I especially loved the ending. Very sweet poem.

This is lovely and oh so sweet. Sweet Nothings are good nothings.
When I can actually feel someone smile from the inside, then I know they are happy and that brings a smile to my face.
Absolutley beautiful Chris

oh the heart is such a place, it can be bruised by a butterfly flapping its wings two continents away
