Communication, creative, I would have lived, loss, Love, nostalgia, poems, poetry, verse, writing
I would have loved you then,
Your tumbling hair
A cascade of words
Around my heart,
Your silken skin
A sliver of hope
Amidst the dark,
But my eyes had not yet opened.
I would have loved you then,
Your precious lips
Their berry-sweet taste
Against my own,
Your endless eyes
Welcome drowning pools
In which to dive,
But my heart had not yet thawed.
I would have loved you then,
Your gentle touch
Warm electric glow
Against my flesh,
Your turning back
Sign for me to say
Deep hidden words,
But I knew I was too late.

Oh my heart! My heart!! Chris, this is really quite beautiful. And now I shall read it again. 💕 it’s just so wonderful.
That has made my day, Tara! I am delighted that you are delving into this piece once – sort of makes it all worthwhile. Thank you.
Oh goodness… my heart soared reading it.. you know how some pieces just touch you like a match. Soo good. ☺️
Yes, that is so true…and I love it when you read something that really stirs you and yet you can’t quite put your finger on why.
Absolutely
Oh beautiful.
Thank you – much appreciated!
