A picture
painted with all the colours of imagination
hangs in the gallery of my mind
A beautiful image
and I can't help but gaze upon it with longing
I suspect it will hang there forever more
A sound
playing over and over again
in my ear
A voice --
your voice
unique and soothing
almost inaudible now
I try hard to remember it
and I ache to hear it
but I fear I may never again
A wish
uttered countless times
rests now upon my lips
Yes, it rests
but only for a moment --
I will utter it again

What lovely poetry!
Beautifully done.
I also know this longing for those who've left my life. A bittersweet longing for that soothing music, illusion or no...
I sure hope not!!!!
WOW!!!! Love it!!!
Romantic Poetess, I'll keep holding on to that magical thought. Thank you.
Fusun, perhaps there is some 'prettiness' to be found in longing ... not in the true sense of the word but perhaps there's the positive side of longing where we experience the warmth of feelings and fond memories.
these two : 'come back ...'
like puppies running, geese flying,
water rushing in the din, over the falls
down deep into the tranquil heart-shaped pool below.
loved this, Kate.

That which we we long for is part of what defines who we are. Our innermost desires are part of us. Dangerous to deny them.
Giving voice poetically is a (somewhat) safe option. Good plan. :)
Thanks for posting again. /r

Sheila, I can always count on you to read and leave me a much appreciated comment. Thank you, friend!
I loved your comment, Kim. You have a gift of seeing a feeling and painting it as beautifully with your words as you would on canvas.
Thank you, Kim ... from deep within my heart ... thank you.
Unbreakable, you are incredibly kind and I thank you for this gorgeous comment. ............ Hey, I think it's your turn on Words with Friends!!!! (But by the time I wake up I guess it'll be mine again, huh?) ; )
Michelle, I can understand that for sure. Best wishes and hold tight. If you need a friend to lean on ... I'm here. Okay?
I Love Life, perhaps it is so because I write from my heart. : )
Scylla, amazing??? Goodness! How very, very kind and lovely of you to say this ... but, no, not amazing ... right now ... grateful is the right word. Grateful for friends who come here to read and offer lovely words of encouragement and support. Thank you for being here, my friend.
