Love Poem: Missing You

Missing You

I miss you

Like the sun embracing the surface of the ocean 

Reflecting your princely face

Surrounded by a surreal mist

In my dreams I ask the clouds to extend their wispy fingertips 

To touch your rich russet skin 

To gaze upon you in wonder 

secretly

To see your glorious arms outstretched to the sky 

From this moment then and there

To breathe is to inhale in the scent of you

The rousing feeling within my veins 

Embracing my life

The memories keep me safe

Sheltered from the cruel spurns that diminish my will 

 Dancing from moments of time  that were the happiest days of my life

Your saccharine lips, part away the darkened curtains from this place

And I am revived

Live for me

Like I live my life for you

I miss you
