And I miss you

And I miss you

 

Whispering fog on a dense morning breathes,

muting thoughts of where the daylight might be

Silhouette tree branches silent and gray wave on tepid winds,

mist’d endeavors weave desperate desires

 

Winter has claimed every color I have seen, stark realities

here in the visions now cast on my heart

Emptiness leaks upon unsuspecting dreams,

imagination finds nothing beyond this aching chest

 

Vast this enclosure that harbors my eyes in caged sight,

fence posts and wire strung in patterns of locked decisions

Chained link desires that can’t find the gate,

only mailboxes of memories never sealed or stamped

 

And I walk this lonely path, as it is my job, my destiny?

A soul’s responsibility to wonder with longing eyes

where you might be on this day with no sun, no color, no beauty… no love

And I miss you…for you are all those things to me

The world colours when love comes into it. Otherwise we're stuck with black and white and gray...

You are so right Marie. Thanks so much

Oh my Jack....I think you read my mind today...Not sure why but I have been missing someone very special more than usual these past few days. Your poem touched my heart
A soul’s responsibility to wonder with longing eyes

You are amazing.

Thanks so very much Julie for this beautiful review of my poem today. I know this feeling well.

[Vampaslick]

Another great poem from you, enjoyed it all the way through and was quite pleased with it.
Seriously enjoyed the lines
"Chained link desires that can’t find the gate,
only mailboxes of memories never sealed or stamped"
The idea of links of chains can't finding the place that they belong and then relating it to desires is just wonderful to me

Thanks so very much my friend.

[Lyn Anderson]

A very longing, wistful, lovely worded piece. I think the quiet round font enhances the verse.

Thanks so very much KL.

It just seems fitting that this is the first piece I've read today...every stanza is a feast of images and emotions. Winter has claimed every color I have seen...that's how it feels at times for sure...I love that line. And then the final stanza makes it all too clear...loneliness just makes the whole world stark sometimes...gorgeous piece Jack.

Heart breaking, beautiful yet, so sad. I read it a few times and got sunk into the words each time. you described so perfectly what it really feels like to miss someone. You are so talented.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Angela for your kindness.

[Angel]

ahhh, yes...he should be here, beside me, keeping me warm through this long cold winter...
Oh, how I miss him...

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Angel. I hope you hear a knock on that door anytime now.

[DIVYA]

A world without love is so lonely and grey...Nothing like their return to bring back sunshine in our lives. Wishful thinking but hope must always stay alive and aglow in our hearts. A very inspiring write...

[Jack...]

So very true Divya. Thank you so much.
