Description
My heart misses you
I know...I know
Perhaps you find that
Hard to believe
But given time you will
Understand the depth
Of my words.
I miss the sparkling sound
of your laughter with mine,
It never fails to brighten
my darker moments of doubt.
Why can't we have our usual...
...sunny picnics at the Quabbin
...moonlit walks at Hampton Beach
...shopping in Manhatten
...a night out in Boston?
Why must it now always be...
...quick phone calls
...hurried luncheons
...canceled dates
...loud crowds?
When can we talk
About our hearts' desires
And the goals we have apart
As well as together?
I saw a woman today
Having a one-sided conversation
by a gravestone.
Please don't let that be us...please...

You know..it's almost spooky...it feels like you have walked into my brain and read all the thoughts there. It's incredible!!!!!

Well said. Seems that people today often have this problem with understanding that the time we have here for each other has a limit.Your poem makes one think.

Oh that is very nice and also very sad.Good writing.

A very interesting structure which works very well [lists can often be boring - but not here]. The ending is particularly pointed and reflects back into the body of the poem as all the best endings do. v

Oh, does this ever grab the heart! You've done such an amazing job in giving the reader deep words to think on and the sadness of one who doesn't feel that closeness to their love. Awesome!

You really pack a lot of emotion in your poems - simple and yet a straight shot to the heart. And your endings always bring it all together. Wonderful writing. :o) CC
