Longing

 There is something about you I can't quite forget.

Perhaps the sunshine reminds me 

Of the way you talked, 

The night reminds me of the way 

We met in a tryst of sheer ecstasy; 

The mountains remind me 

There was a life waiting beyond it, 

And the rain reminds me 

Of my lovelorn heart 

That has never found a way 

To erase you from the mind.

I sit here, amidst the storm, wondering 

Was there more to our story? 

More to love than we could ever know. 

And my teardrops turn into pearls. 

That now adorn the white marble dome.

I wish to see you again, in dreams 

Hold you near and sin, 

But somehow with every ray of light, 

You slip away like lost hope.
