Love Poem: Canone Inverso

Canone Inverso

In every
corner of my
soul you
left your presence

As I 
walk down
the aisle I
hear your
footsteps haunting
me and your
laughter 
echoing from 
wall to wall, so I
turn and discover
you are
there unseen

Overwhelmed by the
need to see
your image, I frantically
search every
room
for your
ghost sitting
somewhere but it
vanishes every time sneaking
inside my
chest, all is
empty yet full
of you

I sob and 
choke in pain gasping
through memories and
regrets about our
time 
together till I
feel your eyes and mind seeing 
my world through 
me, and my hands
skimming over your
face from a distance

Your presence left
you 
in every
corner of my soul.
