~here’s to missing you breathing and shiny floors~ -one- I miss you, yes, my heart, the most, I think and you are still very much inside my head but my body has long since made absent the ache and refuses to be reminded of the gentleness of your touch your kisses so soft. how I miss the brown of your deep eyes and how I could see into more than just today in your your laugh and your smile... but your hands your hands my love will never be gone from me I can close my eyes and feel them still your hands loved me, even before you said so with your eyes -two- inside the red inside my head they overflow the tears and pour down my shirt filling the red until open the window I must or I will drown fresh air bathes relief maybe in my missing you I just forgot to breathe -three- you are gone and I am left to make some sense of it all by myself and so I put on knee pads and rubber gloves and meticulously (irrationally) wax the floors as if it will bring you back -four- and if I sleep instead of pacing with the stars as my company will I miss you any less? you are my quiet the still place in my soul, pace for pace step by step you softly numb my thoughts until the tired makes my feet stop and so I ask if I sleep instead will you be any less gone? |

I loved this! It made me smile to see I'm not the only one who cleans when the void of "gone" comes around. You said it all so well. Di |

You have captured an emotion here that haunts the soul when we're left by someone we love. Maybe poetry is a good way to reveal ourselves, when the floors don't need waxing! I enjoyed this! It's uniqueness makes it a good candidate for the book i feel. Hope to see it there. I have come to enjoy your writing style. Somehow seems to stand apart, in a good way! A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |
