A leaf falls
forever separated
from its tree
drifting softly
delicate
like you move
I see your eyes
translucent green
beautiful as emeralds
I can taste
the kiss of your lips
sweet soul candy
a tear
warms my cheek
you’ve never left my heart

Thank you Arcadia… 🙂
I like the iamge progression from movement to color to sensation, the “warm tear” — That’s what memory of past love does to us.
Indeed Dora, it does indeed… 🙂

Sade had to be my choice. I was so absolutely smitten by her when she released… “Your Love Is King” in ‘84 — WOW!

“a tear
warms my cheek
you’ve never left my heart”
So poignant, so much conveyed in so few words.
Thank you Raivenne… 🙂
Love the parallel you give us in the first two stanzas. An elegant, sentimental piece, this is.

This is so heartfelt; the leaf may drift away but never gone.

Thank you Angela… 🙂
Wonderful and bittersweet how the memories may warm you.
Yes. Memories of things wonderful, now lost, seem to endure Björn — often turn even sweeter in the remembering.
