What Can I Say

 

My dear, what can i say,

i have dreamed of watching

volcanoes erupt with you,

with our hands

cupped over our hearts

 

of sharing serene silences

like a kiss between souls

laden with peach-blossoms

and an occasional, precious stir of poetry

 

of drowning in silver dew, with you

 

of gazing over holy lands,

breathing in fragrant soils

 

and leaning against you

when the pain of amazement

gets too much

 

of evenings and cups of tea shared

like words fully absorbed

 

and now you've left me

and gone

 

my mountains crumble to dust,

silences scrape like bare branches

 

there is nothing to drown in

but myself

 

no sights left to behold,

only ashes to breathe in

none but my own shadow,

to fold into

 

my dear, i have nothing to say,

my heart burns like the evening sky.

You have nothing to say? Perish the thought! The romance in your words is breathtaking, Sanober! To feel such a oneness with another soul is unusual in life and when that person is removed from your everyday life, it leaves a hole no one and nothing can fill. Oh, you write with such longing. It is absolutely palpable. Gorgeous sentiment here. Lydi**

Dear Sanober.... life is a song that stays
in our heart and plays softly when
love lingers... beautiiful poetry....
