A Fish Without the Sea

A Fish Without the Sea

A Poem by Betty Hermelee
"

LOST

"




I am lost without you, a deep void 

I miss your touch

your sea green eyes

pungent perfume that I can only whiff

I am a fish without the sea

a bird without a nest

a flower without a bloom

 

I yearn for you

the silkiness of your black hair

your laugh, your cry

a sting within my soul

I thirst to retain you by my side

 

I am lost without you

nightmares linger over me

pondering where you are

perhaps in places of dark and danger

a fear that all I possess is your face

in my mind’s eye

 

Yet I trust I can find you

somewhere where the moon lights my path

the sun enlightens my heart

do not desert me

for I am torn without you

broken

I can feel this on a deep level, this is how I feel without my partner. When I was without them.
It's like reading my souls testimony, from another's perspective. Thank you for writing this
