Like Zephyr Breeze

Before I ever saw those eyes How deeply I loved you. Before you read my first thought I found you . Before you ever dreamt of my lips I kissed your smile I meant nothing to you and you were already my world. I lived through every breath you inhaled till that same breath became a ghost from the past. Tonight I exist to live for what was ... Tomorrow I live to exist for what will be . I stopped calling your name I stopped searching your footprints I stopped seeking those arms Stopped believing in stars . Yet sometimes in my soul's dusk of night through your cold absence I feel you within me Ever so soft just like the wind Like zephyr breeze which left my cheek yet never gone.

I can see why this did so well. "Tomorrow I live to exist for what will be..." Do you still feel this way? Living on an island paradise? Of course, this is in my fave stash

Awe-struck as I read on, chills up and down my spine. Your words in this verse are almost a reflection of my "Who Am I" 1/9/2022. To me this is sensual and filled with eternal love!

This poem just completely took my breath away. Your mind see the most beautiful and mesmerizing scenes and I am so thankful it allows you to put them into words and share them with all of us. I know I am quite late to this pome, but I am so happy I found it. It is as if it were whispering to me to come read it. Simply captivating Charmaine.

What beautiful analogies, Charmaine, that exalts love for love's sake, whether or not the person will return the favor. You crafted this so well, and the zephyr breeze ... so delightfully fleeting.
