Graveyard Angel

Graveyard Angel

A Poem by Gaia Octavia

I always wake to find you there:
a wisp of memory,
soft as a palm pressed to my cheek.

Your eyes: two celestial reflections,
polished in glistening moonlight,
hold me in their solemn gaze.

As our breaths mix and mingle,
weaving a delicate lace
in the crisp night air.

The white, drifting snow settles,
undisturbed on your furrowed brow -
fingers failing to smooth those chiseled lines.

And your rich, dark hair - flecked with white -
lies neatly against your face
as the mulish wind continues to blow.

You never speak my name,
though you still comfort me,
like my own graveyard angel.

You are welcome my friend.
Gone but definitely not forgotten. Very moving piece. The economy of words makes the images all the more powerful. Well done.
