Do You Miss Me? by Michael Do you miss me? When you breathe the freshness of Spring and feel the breeze rustling leaves, the dew, the faint but fragrant newness of that sweet moisture, do you ever think of me? When you walk into the falling day and see first sparkling lights appear, do you remember that poetically, I am the holder of the night and I rein-in the stars? As oceans pound relentlessly upon the seashores, in hopes of diminishing both land and man, do you know who I am? If you could hear my voice, you’d know I am the truth. No lie can ever live in me. In your heart, you’ve always known that. I burn candles. I’ve never told you that. Each night I hope you’ll that glow, remember the light of me and return. I know it’s foolishness, even romantic stupidity, but I don’t care. So many candles have drowned in a puddle of wax since the day you left. Tonight I’ll light just one more. Proust- |

No such thing as stupidity in romance my friend. Put that candle in the window... perhaps she will see it and find her way home. |

Interloper, This poem is about my first love when I was eighteen years old. We never forget the first, do we? Thank you. sea_of_okc, Unfortunately, she never saw the candle, but such is life, right? Time moves on...so many years ago that was. Thank you JLR, Thanks for the reply. I was in a nostalgic mood today. Kathleen, 25 candles? Wow! :-) I guess that poetically speaking, each of us have far more candles burning than we'd sometimes like to admit. Thank you, Kathleen. Michael Proust- |

do you remember that poetically, I am the holder of the night and I rein-in the stars? As oceans pound relentlessly upon the seashores, in hopes of diminishing both land and man, do you know who I am?" I am speechless to this....no words I could say would ever do this poem justice....stunning... Lauren~ *** Nothing Beautiful In This World |

Michael, "I burn candles. I’ve never told you that. Each night I hope you’ll that glow, remember the light of me and return. I know it’s foolishness, even romantic stupidity, but I don’t care. So many candles have drowned in a puddle of wax since the day you left. Tonight I’ll light just one more. So beautifully written! What woman wouldn't want the love that burns so true in your heart? I hope she realizes what she has before it's to late. TaraB |

Elizabeth Anne, Thank you. I'm glad you liked this piece. jwesley, Thank you for coming by and reading. I found this one on my word processor. I'd forgotten that I'd even written it. Lady In White, I like what you added. In fact, I like it a lot. Thank youLauren, Do you know why I like seeing your replies on my poems? Because you help remind me that I'm a writer and my words sometimes touch people in special ways, as does any writer. Thank you, my friend. rosepetals, Thank you, but this poem was written about a girl of many years ago and she never returned. Such is love. Proust- |

Dee I have not been coming in here for very long but was aware of Michael & have visited his wealth of fine writing along with some of the work of other past poets. Curiosity therefore drew me in when I saw the posts with his name on it. It was a good choice to send these 2 back to the top and are a fine example of his creativity. Finally, can I just point out that line a lot of us have at the bottom of our posts, saying that we will be notified, I believe Augustes knows these are back.... Thanks for reposting & giving us newbies the opportunity to enjoy these nuggets Best regards John |
