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

As well as you have a special place in my heart.......I really do enjoy reading your poems!
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!
So kind Bella

Couldn't miss the chance to see you on the pole (gondola that is)
Extremely grateful for your time
Thank you
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.
Oh you are much better at compliments than you think
I'm extremely grateful for this comment
Thank you NIK
