Your eyes glow with pure affection,

Emeralds, inside a soft complexion,

Sunshine smile of golden beams,

Or moonlight on a silver stream.

 

Your tiny hands rest warm in mine,

Upon our table of auburn pine,

Essence flows from palm to palm,

It floods me with your tranquil calm.

 

I close my eyes to breathe you in,

Smell and taste your ivory skin,

Hear the breath escape your lips,

Feel life’s pulse on fingertips.

 

An impact flash and all has gone,

Empty chair where you belong,

Morbid memory becomes a hole,

A deep dark chasm in my soul.

 

The ghost of you is in my mind,

That visits me from time to time,

When I’m down or feeling bad,

You remind me of the love we had.

Steve,

Beautiful poem, loved the flow, the rhyme, so natural and the love felt throughout. Deeply sad last verses, I was not ready for the empty chair and felt that deep dark chasm so painfully. I lost my father three weeks ago so have not been online and cannot write anything besides some haiku at the moment. Loss of a loved one is a difficult but I feel very close to my father right now, his spirit lives on within me. Loved this poem. thumbs up
