[hometext] => A long one but I hope you like it*
[bodytext] => I'll never forget the sound of you leaving The cold, hard step You turned and faded into black A thick darkness setting us apart And you were gone. Your face is beautiful to me still Sleeping, sometimes, safe Inside my mind Your image Fresh and sacred Oh you can steal me now With just one look And still become a dream for me Even in the absence of you. There come days, often thick and fast Breathing aches into my bones for you The softness of your lips The comfort of your touch The very sense of you as mine And in those times The hours that pass I mourn a loss too great to understand My comprehension abandons me As you. You took a choice into your own hands Along with time And on the outskirts of your thoughts I stood Awaiting your answer Clinging to every hope I ever had And placing all in you And your return My arms always wide and open Wanting Never to know A void placed there by you. Ah but look How it has elapsed and you have come Emerging From that darkness With an old familiar sound Just as quickly turning Beneath the echo of your words You leave me as you did then To face the bleak and black alone Vanished into the thin air of A small regret and a huge relief Of having shrugged off, let go, released One more thing you could do without And in doing so, I am without too. I'm brought this hurt now Revealed in ypur truth I learn honesty does not come Bearing no weapons Inflicting no wounds And still I can forgive you For the unforgiving nature of your Inevitable yet unwelcome departure Because that image clings A simple memory of your smile Til I can't but laugh you right back into my heart. And despite causing pain No-one can and no-one ever will Love or hate you more In the same breath Or remember so The resonance As you departed with every part of me. You,ve given more and taken so As you walked away With a cold, hard step Trampling on mysoul And I think you know Oh but for all the wrongs you've done me You're as much aware as I That I'm feeling you still Within a world Now vacant As you empty it Silence it And me.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
