How Can I Forget You

How Can I Forget You
( Free Verse )


You are everywhere -

-between the warm spaces and soft rain, and the
palpable flame that burns me up with
false hope  -

 

-  the quickened breaths and warm tears,
that recall our naked passion and
your overwhelming
tenderness.

 

How can I ever erase the phantom of you
when you haunt my every
dream.

 

Sometimes,
my dreams are kind -

 

You and I together, kissing wine drips
from happy lips as we lay in the lush
and fruitfulness of some
ancient vineyard -

 

Yet, here in my wakefulness,
my heart finds no
inner peace-

 

it quivers endlessly from want
of you, and the insecurity that now
overpowers it.

 

How can I ever forget -

 

when

even the air I
breathe -

 

taste's of
you.

    Great poem as always Dee, I love "between the warm spaces and the soft rain, and the palpable flame that burns me up with false hope" such beautiful imagery.

    • Dee

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      THANK YOU DEE ~ For another beautiful poem of past love. Love always has a plus and a minus because so so often one is taken and the other left. I have not yet experienced such deep pangs of lost love but your lovely poems ~ in a sense ~ prepare me for it. The happier we are in a relationship the sadder we are when it ends. I love the second and fifth stanzas ~ so so sensuous and so so true to ones experience of true love ! Love BRIAN
