That Picture...

The picture on the sideboard

I longingly gaze at you

with fond memories

my heart just skips a beat

I think of that amazing smile

those big blue eyes

that look you would give me

that made my body quiver

 I long for those days

I miss the passion and our lust

the excitement and the heat

I wish I could  turn back time

and have those times again

But sadly you have passed.

And all I have of you

is this precious photograph

my memories of you

I visit your grave daily

I attend and clean your grave

and hold sweet conversations

with you inside

I wipe a tear from my cheek

as I leave and say goodbye

for now

And when my time comes to pass

I will lay with thee

once more

again my love

someday

Nicely written, sadly this is the fate for all mortals and all couples, families etc.

sadly so true.

The memories and the love we leave behind, are a legacy that makes the circle complete. Without them, our three score year and ten on this lovely planet is immensely lessened.

Beautifully written.

Beccy.
