an image once kind
an image once sublime
an image in my mind
fading in and out of my consciousness
the crest of the waves
the forbidden places
and the love we made
traces
of you are like scented flowers
on the morning breeze
the hours
with you now we are apart
feels like a tease
two hearts
once one
now must find solitude to recover
the morning sun
shines a ray on the place
where you were my lover
and now
an image in my mind
intimate thoughts
a necklass
i place around your pretty neck
reckless
love we sought
still those quiet nights i wont soon forget
the flight of a robin
stirs
me from my reverie
what incurs
we will see
after all love controls its own destiny
the spill of wine
laughter when i kiss your pouty lips
time after time
i recall how you would pause then take a sip
december snow
melts as dictated
by the seasons
complicated
i know
right now is not the time
to search for the reasons
that you are
an image in my mind
a tale of two cities
so very near
yet far apart
some fears
unfounded maybe we should have ignored
them from the start
a picture of you
or two or three
i gaze
at throughout my restless days
amazed
that we lasted
yet if two lovers have the will
god finds a way
thinking of you
as sure
as you think of me
the cure
for us is as close as our hearts
yet vast as the sea
no more tears
i am just a man
like any other
trust in your plans
and remember that we were spiritual lovers
when you see
my image in your mind
i hear your voice
and i know the love you feel
for me yes i do
no appeal
for the drama i swear i dont
know how we made it through
we are both mature
funny
how that sounds so damn trite
sunny
are your days
cold and alone are your lonely nights
i always say
bridges dont burn
if we learn
what we discern
will determine if we deserve another turn
lets chill
for a spell
im open to doing it all again
time will tell
if we write a love story
or what could have been
just
an image in your mind
