Dancing alone with an old glass filled with memories.
Holding on to hope, full of memories, a longing for my love to fly her way home. A romance in the making, in the now.
You may think of me as silly,
and it's a little thing to most
I keep the glass you drank from
the last time you were here
the last time we had a toast.
I don't clean it not in the least
you see it has this lip print on the rim
that does soothe this beast.
I bring it out on special occasions
that's every night to me,
I gently place ice in the bottom
then pour our favorite wine carefully.
Holding it up to the light to gaze upon
your lip print so sensuous, and full
my eyes brim then water, becoming a pool.
I place my lips next to where yours had been
inhaling the fragrance of your essence
and sipping the wine, so slowly you'd think it a sin.
Lighting a candle and listing to a favorite song,
I rock my body with an unseen partner,
where my white dove had been, now gone.
carefully placing it far to the back not to be misused
I'll bring it out again when I feel my heart to be abused.
Thinking of you softly not believing you have flown
still holding my heart in hand for you to come home.

This poem was touching to say the least. Very heartfelt and strong, the author created a deep sadness but at the same time a hope that his lover would return. This poem is painful because of his loss, but so beautiful because of his memory that he holds of her.

Great poem mate! I have a love that is away from me at the moment not by my choice and I find that it's her kiss that lingers and in my memory I trace the movements of her lips when she speaks. Your poem moved me!
Amber
This poem brings back so many memories. Many of us often hold on so tight to the memories in fear to forget. Just today I had to return a ring that meant so much to me to my ex bf. I used to lie in bed and stare at it imaging his hands in mine. You have magically touched my heart. thank you.
