The Warm Embrace

This poem is about the one I love. I can never get you out of head. To you Lina Grey

Trapped 

The only word that describes this nightmare

Wide white walls enclose me on all sides

No sound is heard in my hypersensitive ears

5  When I close my weary eyes I feel a warm breeze

The smell of honey suckle and willow trees fill the air

I look around and see you sitting next to me

We sit under the willow tree and look out at the lake

I grab your hand and feel your steady pulse

10  your smooth palm, warm and loving

I see your wide Cheshire smile gleam in the sunlight

As you pull me to my feet I feel as light as air

You pull me towards you a lock me in a loving embrace

Your hair smells like blossoming cherry trees

15   As we let each other go you whisper in my ear "good bye"

I stand back and see you disappear like dust in the wind

I open my eyes and find myself facing emptiness

I am back in the white wall hell

Author's Note

Lina will never leave my thoughts and she inspired this poem with nothing but a single smile and a single hug

typo: line 13, 'and lock me in'
Like a bubble of love, so fragile, it can pop in one sudden motion and all that is left are the splashing droplets of water left on our face. Wonderful. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Thanks for pointing out the typo. I didn't see that one. I guess my mind was working faster than my hands. Thank you for the review
