Wherever You May Be

Missing a loved one .....

As life's short pages turn

And chapters are replaced

I often sit and wonder

Of all the time we waste

And as my hair gets greyer

The wisdom comes so clear

That we should cherish time

Each and every year

When one of us is absent

Across the seven seas

Our love will keep us comforted

Until they reappear

Despite the heart's deep sorrow

At the time you are away

I still keep smiling daily

With memories every day

For every time we touch

A feeling is then kept

Within my heart and soul

So I'll not feel bereft

For I can taste your kisses

And feel your passions deep

Each morning when I wake

And then when I'm asleep

For no one else can know

The tenderness we share

The love and sensuality

The softness and the care

So every second passing

I'll love you even more

And warm my heart and soul

With our sweet close rapport

As life's short pages turn
And chapters are replaced
I often sit and wonder
Of all the time we waste
And as my hair gets grayer
The wisdom comes so clear
That we should cherish time
Each and every year

So very true and so sad when we have lost a loved one to think of all the wasted time. Beautifully penned. Great job.

Soflt sweetly tender words of love that soothes the ache of missing a loved one. It is easy to see this is a time and space separation more so than the total loss of a loved one.

Beautifuly written Phil

Anyways,

So every second passing
I'll love you even more

Love grows every time spent, right? Truer words were never said. I love the flow of this poem. It has such promise and truth into it that it's hard to ignore or pass by. The message, or messages, are well developed as well as the scheme goes. Very powerful work. Thanks for sharing.

No truer words can be said my friend. Life is only a brief second in the realm of it all....each moment so precious. Love each day as if it were your last. Powerful and Poignant write!

Beautiful, beautiful words of love. Such a special gift. It is hard to be separated from the one you love.

[Tania Leigh]

Very sweet and said....the sense of longing and loss is effectively conveyed, but so is hope and optimism.

"Despite the heart's deep sorrow
At the time you are away
I still keep smiling daily
With memories every day"

Very nice balance :-)

My favorite lines:

I really like the image conjured up at the top. And the wistful yearning is brilliantly developed...but its the top that's the best bit for me.

[Floating on the feather..]

Those lines create the magic again....such delicate and tender words soothe you deep.
Lovely writing here, Phil.
