IN MY HEART
Sadness fills my soul
often a silent weep
abundance of wishes
if only you were here
flickering of the candle
shadows on the wall
desolate lonely surge
as fervent as the flame
burning with desire
so infinite and divine
always and forever
imagine you and me
eternity and beyond
as long as I can dream

Is it nostalgia? is it longing? all I know is it feels like something (or -one) missing – it would be worse if we couldn’t keep them in our heart and soul. I’m glad you’re here, with your soulful words, images and music. Thank you, dear friend!
September 25, 2010 at 6:36 am
Thanks Ruth, I think we can write from that place of longing when it’s been a part of your life at some stage. I am not there anymore but can still feel the sadness of that specific time. Thanks for always being here my friend. I have not been around visiting so much as I have a deadline to meet but will be back to normal in no time 🙂 Sending you hugs and have a great weekend xxxx
September 24, 2010 at 12:20 pm
As long as any of us can dream …
Keeping it alive – the love I mean, the memory.
A soft, sweet, gentle and special poem from a special lady.
Thank you! 🙂 Hugs!
