Love and longing

The moon, a pearl in velvet skies,

Casts silver light on tear-filled eyes.

I trace your name upon the pane,

A whisper lost, in pouring rain.

Love's melody, a haunting strain,

Echoes in chambers of my brain.

Your laughter lingers, like a chime,

A cruel reminder of a bygone time.

Each empty chair, a vacant space,

Haunted by memories, a love's embrace.

The scent of you, on tattered cloth,

A phantom touch, a love I've lost.

The world spins on, indifferent, cold,

While love's charred embers, stories unfold.

I long to hear your voice again,

To feel your hand, erase the pain.

Longing stretches, a yearning deep,

Across the miles, a love I keep.

Each sunrise brings a whispered prayer,

That you may feel the love I share.

The wind whispers secrets through the trees,

Of stolen glances, and gentle pleas.

Stars, like diamonds, coldly gleam,

Reflecting back, a shattered dream.

Is this love's fate, to yearn and ache?

To watch hope fade, for love's sweet sake?

Or will the stars one day align,

Bringing you back, forever mine?

The seasons change, the leaves they fall,

Love's tapestry, adorns the wall.

Each thread, a memory, bittersweet,

A love that lingers, incomplete.

But in the silence, a voice I hear,

A gentle whisper, banishing fear.

"Love's flame may flicker, but never die,

Hope's embers glow, beneath the sky."

Perhaps this longing, is not in vain,

But a testament, to love's sweet refrain.

A promise whispered, on the breeze,

That two hearts yearn, across the seas.

So I will hold on, to the fading light,

With faith that guides me, through the darkest night.

For even in absence, love's flame burns bright,

A beacon of hope, a guiding light.

One day, perhaps, our paths will meet,

Love's melody, once more complete.

Until then, I'll cherish the memory's hold,

The love we shared, a story yet untold.

For though distance may linger, and silence may bind,

Love's essence remains, a love I can find.

In every sunrise, in every star's gleam,

The whisper of hope, a love's endless dream.
