While I still hear your breathing
and the beating of your heart
While I still reach out for you
at noises in the dark
I still wait for your return
long after you’ve been gone
I still turn down the volume
when it plays that special song
While summer rays of blazing gold
eventually simmer down to fall
I still hold these memories
and listen for your call
There is a separation
between life and death
I still feel you here with me
in whispers and in breath
Some days feel the pain so recent
and tears come to my eyes
the lingering unanswered
the forever question why
I look up to the heavens
on rainy days like this
tears from immortal memories
recalling your final kiss
I love this!!!

This is beautiful Ionia. That fourth stanza, about separation but still feeling someone’s presence – powerful stuff. Seems you did find one talented muse out there beyond ‘civilization’ – enjoy!
