Are You Still With Me

 

 

 

Dreams in ivory midnight skies,

A gazing glow through my window pane.

In the silence, your whispers gently

Flow in the soft breezes of emptiness.

 

I feel your fingertips carassing my cheeks

Slowly combing through my hair

As I enter into my own reality,

A world where there is only me and you.

 

I hear your gentle spoken voice

Echoing stings in my broken heart.

The pieces that forever lay broken,

A missing piece, never to be replaced.

 

Like a ghost, you linger in the shadows

Mourning for me as I have mourned for you,

To feel the embrace of our reality

And share each other's moments once more.

 

My heart yearns to hear your voice,

To see the smiling face that holds my dreams

Sleepless and broken, it screams for you

Wondering if you're still here with me.

I have to say I endured my own shades of abuse. Past and present abuse are ever so fresh and the wounds refuse to heal. But this poem gave me something deep to think about. You carefully chose your words and they are wonderfully arranged.

You mend the strings to my heart that have been shredded by years of abuse, and for that, I thank you. Love your pieces, may you never stop.

THAT IS WHY YOU'RE ONE OF MY FAVOURITE POETS HERE !!!!
Just perfect, intense, full of pathos ... just perfect,
you've given us a beautiful story making us LIVE it, you've played with practically all the 5 senses (by a quick look i can see sight, hearing and touch) but what i loved the most was the fact you have constantly crossed the borderline between reality and dream/"day"dream (most of the time you made them coexist)

This is Beautifully written... I truly feel the sadness that you have expressed...Great write, Ana Rose.

Your poem beautifully describes the emotion which I feel presently. Well penned. :)

[reflectingus]

Beautiful, penned with an aching and wailing heart, I could sense that desire, and pain, so wonderfully expressed. I think this flows rather deeply, shows a secret sense of presence, for someone who is physically absent. I particularly loved the fourth stanza, though the whole poem is pretty awesome. Loved.

Beautiful artwork and amazing poetry took me into the poetry. I could the yearning and desire in your words. A powerful ending to a outstanding poem. Thank you.
