Missing You

poem

poem

I miss her so much, my heart aches for the warmth of her soft skin finger tips

I miss her more than the trees need their oxygen

Than the orphans of war

The widow at the wake

The motherless son surrounded by strangers

The homeless under the black tar bag hiding from the rain

The pups on the street dying of hunger

The slave feeling the morning sun on his toes in his cage

The poet without his muse

The divorced husband with his empty bottle

The bald man in the barbershop

The chained dog in the long yard with 8 feet of rope

The writer with no words

The couple with no soul

The whore without hope

The pregnant daughter with no father

The flowers with no water

And most of all

A cigarette with no lighter
