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

Beautiful words.
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…

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.
Thank you Mish…
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.
