MY DEAR--
A whispy shadow

Slips across my view

Reminding me of you.

​

MY DEAR--
I kiss your pillow.
My silly, hollow prayer
That I might still find you there.

​

Lost in the ether
Adrift on the wind, 
Masked in a candle's flame;
Once I heard the whisper of a zephyr
Calling your name--  

​

MY DEAR--
This heart remembers.
How Passion's embers glowed.
Oh, I miss you so.

​

The sound, the smell, the touch, the feel
Were once so real.
Now remnants of a golden time
Gone by.

​

The sound, the smell, the touch, the feel--
So real--Oh, MY DEAR!
