We Were Swans Dreaming

I wanted you to turn around
but you walked away,
you turned the corner
and disappeared before
I knew your face--the
lines wrinkling your brows
adjacent to
the steel hammer of your eyes
as you broke into laughter
yawning into the rain.

I wanted to feel
the way you wrote your poems
with the left side of your heart
I wanted to hear them all
but the wind wrapped them
up with total darkness,
it was all more than
a dream.

This is beautiful! I love the vocabulary and syntax! I can't even tell you my favorite part I loved it so much (and this is coming from someone who doesn't mostly read poetry) Keep writing this is amazing! This poem is so emotional and descriptive!
