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.

I feel the love, I see the love, this is so very beautiful! What an absolutely tender way of sharing your heart and soul. Each moment should be cherished as you point out here so skillfully. I'm saving this to my favorites, it's a keeper!

Beautiful poem Phil, full of tenderness and tinged with sadness at being apart, your words give me hope that i too might one day feel this with someone......

Awww this is beautiful. Touching. I think you covered everything one feels when someone we love isn't with us. So beautifully-sad, but so true. Loved it,Phil.

Your poem matches my mood so much. No one can ever know what those moments were like and the void that gapes when they fleet away.Its a beautiful poem as usual.
