You watch over me with your signature smile I hear a song in the picture you paint Pastels for lyrics, rose red for rhymes I see a picture in your song so beautifully quaint You did it all in your inimitable style. I still call your name in the silent night The echo of feelings etched so deep When tears bleed to weep Your absence don't make it right. There is peace in the silence of memory The warmth of your embrace was luxury I try to find my strength in words It's an escape where reality is blurred. Trying to hold on to what is lost Forgetting is not easy at any cost. Feeling it all slipping away from my hand There is a lot that life can demand. I will still call your name in the silent night In this pathless journey, I close my eyes tight.
Lovely ๐

Reading your prose was so emotionally charged for me!
Your words first rang out to me then proceeded to swarm around me like my head was encircled with a fluttering crown of butterflies.
So beautiful, so sweet. The essence of my thoughts carry on those memories your poem provoked within and out of me.
I am eternally grateful for your writings.
Please don’t let up!
I love them!
