.
Gazing at the stars lighting up the sky
Pondering the distance between us
Seeming endlessness, moments lost
Silence painful and yet painless
Reminiscent of your voice
Your words caress my thoughts
Echoing with your twang
Our happiness trumped the world
An unbreakable bond
Shattered into a million pieces
Impossible to reassemble
Hands out stretching
Our reach unforgiving
Clasping at nothingness
You float away into eternity
My heart expired with yours
Memories dwindling but remain
Knowing that we’ll reunite
I’ll stare until I slumber
And dream of you by my side
The stars so bright this night

Thank you sherell, my confidence has really taken a battering this last week with some reviews and I have been asking questions of myself and my writing. I know as a writer you will have to take the negative and positive reviews but it’s people like you and tara that make me want to continue. I consider this a special piece and I’m currently looking at poetry writing methods to expand my genre or to improve what I write. Thank you for your kind words.

And btw… don’t let those negative reviews get to you… not everyone has the same taste… as we say in Trinidad “If yuh doh like doh come back” 🙂 You don’t need readers like that anyway
