You came into my life, bringing calm to
my waters, lifting the heaviness from my
soul.

You brought peace to a mind troubled,
you gave warmth to a chilling breeze.

You let me feel as though I had known
you through the ancient ages of history.
Through the cosmos to the ends of
the universe and beyond.

You held me, gently and whispered
softly how you loved me..You made
me feel whole, feel alive..

I stand before my mirror of reflect,
counting the scars of love’s battles.
You stood beside me, unblemished,
pure, pristine....perfectly poised.

I reach out, my hand touched your own,
there in that mirror of yesterday.
When times were timeless, when
words carried the meaning, the sensual
feel of two hearts beating as one.

Alone before that mirror, the rivulets
of water flowing downward, now
intermingled with those of my eyes,
as a heart cries for yesterday, while
tomorrow’s sight waits to see if you
are there....once more.

Barry, this really touched me. Are you okay?
I hope this isn't from personal experience.
Hugs to you, sweet poet

Ethel,  dear lady,  I am okay.....Just part of my poetry,  projection of an actor's
words....though sometimes intermingled with
feelings that have been felt in another time
or place.......

Thanx to you and to all who read and reply
to my words.........

Inspired to write the reply to this aching piece...I bet you already know the story line...
The emotion in your poetry is unmatched...and as you know...good friends always stand by with ample supply of accolades, tissues, cards, hugs and water balloons.

I could feel the ache in this write,
a beautifully written longing, hopeful piece.
