Missing

peto

With the world as my oyster wings spread out to fly

As the sunset slips off of a picturesque sky 

In a life full of wonders that money can't buy

All that is missing is you 

 

On mount teide the stars all appear within reach 

A mauritian horse carried me over his beach 

On the shelf with a well rehearsed marital speech 

All that is missing is you 

 

Ancient Egypt entranced me I took my first dive 

Compressed air in the red sea to keep me alive 

Took a trip out to Lisbon to see a band live 

All that is missing is you 

 

In Manhattan I climbed up the empire state 

I was guilty in Paris of staying out late 

In the city of lovers alone with no date 

All that is missing is you 

 

Now I'm back in my homeland it's where I belong 

No distraction will weaken a memory so strong 

I will travel again so it won't be too long

Until all that is missing is you

          Your poems have the most beautiful, flowing cadence of rhyme that I just love. You've taken us on an amazing journey to far away places with all of their attractions, and back home again to hearth and home where love awaits. I was oohing and aahing!

                  I am not as great at compliments as others but I could literally break this down line for line and explain such emotion into each. As if I could tell whole heartfelt stories with each and every one. That is an accomplishment in itself. To put whole chapters at times into just a few words and it be so profound. This is an amazing job. I could literally talk about it for hours. Amazingly written.

                  • peto

                    Oh you are much better at compliments than you think
                    I'm extremely grateful for this comment
                    Thank you NIK
                    much obliged
