When I close my eyes
I can still feel your touch,
the feel of your breath
upon my skin.
When I close my eyes
I can hear the soft sigh
of your breathing as you rest.
When I close my eyes
I can see the twinkling pools
of blue in your eyes.
I can hear the softness of your
voice whispering of our
passion in my ear.
When I close my eyes
my heart aches for you
a little more with each passing
moment of time.
When I close my eyes
I can still feel you here
in my soul........
and my spirit flys
for having known you.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

Hey, GS...this is just beautiful...definitely touched me with this...great work!

sp  

to be with you...
I've tried to hide my passion,
but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk in the room...

feeling every line of this one too...
GS you live up to your name in this beauty,
written like a whispered dream in the night.
beautiful, bittersweet reflections...
let the memories be the wind beneath your wings

Thank you all for your thoughts and I would leave you today these few words that I find such inspiration in.........

Love has it's own time, it's own season, and it's own reasons for coming and going.  You cannot bribe it or coerce it or reason it into staying.  If it chooses to leave, from your heart or the heart of a lover,
there is nothing you can do and nothing you
should do.  Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life.  If you keep your heart open, it will surely come again.

Simple Truths

this is beautiful but perhaps too vague, I would love to read it in specific detail...
why does your heart ache? your spirit flying for knowing this person sounds
like he died, I enjoyed, just couldn't help a big of critique

There are to many questions that can't be answered for him right now......it is a longing of missing him and knowing that I am better because of knowing him.  When I wrote this I wasn't sure if he would continue to be a part of my life, and he wasn't sure of where his life would leave him.  I am always open to critique.

Gentle Spirit,

This is tenderly, softly beautiful in its sadness and longing.
