The wind rushs around me
i stand frozen on the cliff
looking out at the sea swirl
looking for you in the break

You went so long ago
i can still see your face
when i close my eyes
i can see your tears and smiles

You left me here
left alone with my tears
I kiss you
only with words you wont hear

So i will stand
on the cliff edge
awaiting the beautiful storm
to perhaps carry you back to me

Is that your voice
I hear on the winds
or the seagulls crying
for loves lost wings

perhaps it is vain hope
but that is all that remains
so i stand on the cliff
hoping youll once again be mine

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of  place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

==================================

such a bittersweet beauty you have penned Poet Paul...
one could fill an ocean with these poetic tears....

I kiss you
only with words you wont hear



*sigh*
Hope your storm comes in with the tide.

No one has ever shown me how to see the world the way I see it now ...
and I never saw blue like that before.

Wonderful poem - words from the heart. I especially liked this stanza:

Is that your voice
I hear on the winds
or the seagulls crying
for loves lost wings

Muchly enjoyed.
