I listen quietly to the shallowness of thought
That sings in hushed tones within the embers of my mind.
A familiar but distant tune I once used to hear sung.
I’ve missed you for so long, I feel I can’t remember your face,
Just outlines and words that when spoken
Tug heavily upon my heart.
I would give a thousand moons, and a sea of stars
To be by your side, to smell the honey in your hair.
Where did you go oh love of mine?
How did I forget your name?

How yummy, “to smell the honey in your hair.” Beautiful!
Thank you for reading Jove 🙂
A familiar but distant tune I once used to hear sung.
This verse is especially touching, actually it keeps echoing in my mind again and again. Very beautiful poem.
Thank you for stopping by and reading, it means a lot 🙂
Lovely words. Very poignant.
Thank you Chrisstov!
“How did I forget your name?”
I love this last line – it added a nice twist, at once clear and yet — how did I — hazy
Names and words sometimes don’t survive as well as the emotion of a memory, but the emotion you remember as if it were yesterday…
Just beautiful Ish. Love it. 😀 *hugs*
Evening Sophia! Thank you for reading 🙂
Hugs back
Beautiful poem …. it reminds me about something I read a while back .. that I only want to sleep in moonlight and kisses.
I’m terrible with names .. and if I get a name wrong I can never get it right, doesn’t matter what I do.
Thank you Viveka for your lovely comments. I had a little emotional moment last night and this poem is what appeared.
I’m better with faces, never forget a face, but I’m afraid to say that it takes a little while for names to sink into the ol’grey matter. I would like to say it’s age, but I’ve always been like that 😉
I hope the day finds you well…
My day is nearly over … 9pm where I’m and I will leave my PC for today .. and I wish you a great day and a nice evening where you’re.
I loved the image that you used for your post – beautiful .. thought it was the famous Gustaf Klimt first.
See yo tomorrow and don’t forget to be good to yourself too. *smile
I’m just an hour behind you. Still at my PC as ever blogging! The painting is by Alphonse Mucha, and is probably one of my most favourite of his.
Until tomorrow, have a peaceful night [smile]
Only one hour … are you in UK ????
Yes I am
Okay, where??? I lived in UK and on Ireland for 20 years.
I’m on the south-coast in a little place called Littlehampton. Where are you?
Littlehampton .. know it very well. My goddaughter lives just out side Southampton and I lived in Brighton for 6 years.
Wow! Small world. I used to live and work in Brighton long ago.
Yes, I have another blogging sister that lives outside Brighton too … Suzanne, travelbunny.
Hopefully I will visit again, because I loved Brighton. Lived in Kemptown, but I worked so much I was never home.
I did too when I lived in Brighton, but then I was single with no real commitments. I can only guess that you are in Europe then?
I’m over in Sweden .. and still by my PC *smile
In a small beautiful town .. only 50 min from Copenhagen .. done a post about my town. http://wp.me/p293Pw-1Ke
Sorry to have kept you up. It’ll probably be morning by the time you get this, so good morning Viveka! [smile]
Thanks for the link, very beautiful town you live in!
Good Morning, had a great night sleep and … my morning have some hope. After 3 days of rain there is light in my morning, but with overcast.
Yes, I love in a beautiful small town. Thank you.
I hope you enjoy your day, and that there is a little sunshine for you. It’s very overcast here too although quite warm, I too have hopes for sunshine.
This little poem brought a lump to my throat. Beautiful words from a very special person.
Thank you Dad x Hope all is well…
