I see your face in the whiteness of billowing clouds.
I hear your voice in the softness of gentle rain.
In the sunlight's brightness, I see your laugh,
Like music on a living page.
In dreams I savor your scent and your flavor.
We travel unhindered on sweet forbidden paths of ecstasy,
‘Til the day breaks and I lose you to harsh reality.
I see your lips in the petals of delicate flowers.
I hear you move in the rustle of dancing leaves.
In the rainbow's spectrum I see your sighs,
Like poems with melodic rhymes.
Alone, I treasure your touch and your breathing.
Our spirits, unfettered, follow delicious trails of fantasy,
‘Til the trails end and you leave me in stark emptiness.
I see your mind in the splashing of dancing waters.
I hear your thoughts in the breezes that herald change.
In the morning dewdrops I see your tears,
Like tinkling of orchestral bells.
In thoughts I capture the warmth of your body.
Our two hearts, united, beat in rhythmical times and patterns.
'Til the dream fades and I start praying for your return.

Loved the imagery, Dave.
Good write Dave.
Memories can be sweet. Nice read Dave.
You know how to write a line of poetry, though your verse doesn't actually adhere to any traditional form.
I'd be interested in hearing more about that. I know there are lots of different structures and I have just statrted to read up on them.
Thanks
It's possible to read most of your lines as dipodic verse, four stressed syllables with a strong medial caesura, but I don't think that's very useful information. There are a lot of good books on how to write formal verse. I've been reading one recently called The Ode Less Traveled.
Robert - read his first one, Fate?
Glad you did obtain The Ode Less....
Good words Dave, your two hearts will always remain united as mine and my wife, now passed on, will always remain united.
Andy
thanks Andy, my sympathies on the loss of your lady
