You can find me West of here
With his name upon my tongue
Walking down the same old road
Asking anyone
Have you seen this man?
With dark and greying hair
Eyes as brown as dirt
Holding love that shan't be lived.
Have you seen him?
He walks with his head high
Despite shoulders weighted with shame
His heart is full of love for me
But his feet point Westward too
Forever I shall walk behind
In shadow and in soul
I'll follow him wherever he shall go
This man I dare call home.

Good read. Have a Happy Holiday and stay safe.
Thank you Jerry. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Take care.
A mystery of dark devotion lives within these lines. A single read leaves me wanting more, so, re-reading twice more I find it's atmosphere - haunting.
Like romance in a thirties whodunnit in sepia tone.
Hi Dusk,
I'm so pleased you enjoyed this one. Your interpretation of it is absolutely great. In sepia tone... Spot on. Dark devotion, haunting. I'm pleased you got those feelings! Thank you for your comment as always.
Thank you. I enjoyed the poem.
Thank you kindly.
Very good write Clara, one day you will catch up with him and home will be full of love once more.

Thank you Andy. May be walking forever with this one - but never say never! 🙂
relatable - at so many levels, for those with palate's that have been experience-scorched with all the varied guise's of love and more specifically to your write: trust,
may we all treasure that simple gift imbued within our choices - allowing us, to entrust in something we deem essential to that solace we covet with every ounce of fervent hope, carried to and from - each breath, we chose to serenade our lives with...
a wonderous dedication, emitting that seductive uncertainty of melancholy we treasure while brooding over our love's,
beautifully worded - prioritising accessibility over poetic ambition,
Happy Holidays dear Poet!
thank you for inspiring my little scribbled reply
