There you sit, on my end table, beside my bed. You smile, but do not say a word. You stare into my eyes, waiting for a kiss that I dare not give to you, regardless of my emotions and my desire to gently grace your lips. I will love you for as long as the lakes glisten with light from the moon. The tranquil waters gently flow, creating a magical light show that I can see in you eyes. The lonesome fisherman finds great peace, sitting there alone, he studies the lake, allows his mind to wonder and dream of things that only the water's mystery can allow. There you sit, on my end table, beside my bed. You smile, but do not say a word. All I have left are pictures. As you speak, your voice is carried through the wind. The hairs on my neck and arms stand up in anticipation, teasing me as if you had just kissed my cheek, grazed softly by my hand, or had given me an amiable, kindhearted embrace. Slowly, the winds cease and I am able to control the elation. The gusty winds will forever blow, and I will endlessly be reminded of your song and the feelings they transcend. As you speak, your voice is carried through the wind. All I have left are whispers. There, you sit, on my end table, beside my bed. You smile, but do not say a word. As you speak, your voice is carried through the wind. I will forever be left with pictures, whispers, and my tears. Copyright © 2003 by James Ian Craig.

Nostalgic, but beautiful imagery, like love is. Warm hugs, Etain. |
