Parting Wish

sorenbarrett

I envy the breeze that caresses your face

kissing your neck and skin

I'm jealous of the sun, that encircles you in a warm embrace,

bathing your body with a smile of light, where I would've liked to have been

I covet your shadow as you hug it so tightly

wrapped around you, an intercourse with no sin

Oh that I were the evening air that you breath nightly

through the darkness, touching you so tenderly within

I wish that I could be your most intimate thought

stripped naked to reveal the beauty of all that you are

Wet from the rain of tears when we parted

I always believed that you would return from afar

To staunch the hemorrhaging caused by your absence

I longingly yearn to be the sands of time

blown back by that breeze, to before I first saw you

prior to ever dreaming that you might be mine

            (I relate, i hurt, i hurry to forget
            repress, till that scab
            is unknowingly, picked at again...)
            I hope the right one finds you
            dear cherished friend
            till then, I hope you find comfort
            in knowing
            i too share in a similar pain..

              This is such a beautiful love poem dear friend, and the script serves to enhance every line. You have me swooning, just thinking to being loved in such a way. Romance is very much alive and well!
