There

I'll not let on

I carry on composed.  Stoic

my surface granite encrusted

memories live, breathe, feel

eyes dead hollow

long since drowned in depths of earthy brown

 

I walk a different ocean's shores

yet those breezes ever carry

the co-mingled and lingering scent of love

Chanel Sensuelle Allure and heady musk

Odor settles like cumulus

permeating every pore

infused with every ragged breath

Inhale.  I take you in.

You enter and seek solace in my depths

 

Air electric.  Atoms charged

every nerve and fibre at attention

You fill me

I see you everywhere

strain for your touch

 

No matter the time, space, or distance between

drawn and written lines and words of past and present

 

I ache, yearn, hunger

close my eyes to truth.  Exhale

I still feel you...

  There

Although I am not certain of the writer's original intent, this strikes me as a memory, still painful, of a love that has been lost to time and distance, whether distance of locale or distance of heart. There seems to be such a wound, a soul-deep bruise that will always remain even after the outward appearance of it has long faded. So whether this was the intent, or simply my own interpretation, I greatly enjoyed everything about it.

Thank you Julian, for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. I appreciate the review, and am glad that you enjoyed the read.

Love's long lost . . . the cry of pain of lovers torn apart. Very profound. I really like the prose and the cadence flow of the poem overall. It could be set to music.

I think and without any exaggeration .. this has just about everything this readers poetic appetite desires .. Thank you and with kindest regards Neville
