SO FAR AWAY:

I see your face before me
A small faraway picture
Yet you haunt me every second of every day


You're in my heart, in my mind
In my thoughts that keep me blind

You're in the smell of a passerby
The essential, permeating cry

You're in the bird who made his home
In the room you called your own

You're in a dog, a fluffy toy
That once you brought to bring me joy

You're in a song, one we shared
That played when first my love I declared

You're in the rain that now falls so much
The walks with which we shared its touch

You're in the memories of times together
The place I want to stay forever

You're in a certain special place
Where only OUR shadows graced

You're in my bed as I remember too
The way you'd draw me close to you

You're in the pain only you and I know
That brought us close to love and grow

You're in the touch I still remember
And the pain of a missed fourteenth of December


You're in my heart, and there to stay
But... my heart, my love

You're so far away.

Sylvia...I recently had a lady friend tell me that I was in everything she saw.  Your poem brought it all home.  Hope your special someone gets home soon.  Loved the poem....Hardrock

Sylvia, this is beautiful and expressive and very touching. I love it, and it reminds me of someone I love who is far away too
Great poem in every way.

isn't it funny sometimes how a person can envelope us with his memory but at the same time we frown at his or her absence?.. nice work, sgreybe.

This is a hard truth on what love can be for the first time. Touching beyond words.
