Within my mind I see your face,
still haunted by the sound of your laughter,
recalling the warmth of your sweet embrace.
All these I carry within my heart.
See my head turn as I hear your name,
watch my heart break when you touch my dreams,
the tears that burn with the memory pain.
All these I carry within my heart.
My lovely, lovely, paramour.

Very tender.
It is indeed 🙂
I love the tone you’ve achieved, and especially enjoy the word “paramour”–rich, specific vocabulary always gets me.
Thank you David – I’m glad you appreciated this poem – it is a special poem to me 🙂 There are some words that are rich in nature and meaning 🙂
Beautifully soothing.
Thank you 🙂
Magnificently poignant!
Oh yes – definitely poignant 🙂
Gorgeous!
Thanks Resa 🙂 Everyone needs a paramour 😉
Beautiful and it reminds me of many, many years ago!
Indeed, it was many, many years ago 🙂
