If Only You Were Here

If only you were here,
My empty heart would rest
In the bastion of familiar comfort...

If only you were here,
My unchecked thoughts would quiet
In the harbor of your crescent understanding...

If only you were hear,
Your touch would calm
My quickened breath...

But you are gone.
Holding another.
Calming her casualties.
Giving her rest,
And sharing the love you planted
And cared for with me...

Yes, you are gone,
Nursing her, as a
Shepherd would prepare a lamb...

How can I possibly miss you?
How can I want you near?
The dynamics of love
Are often so strange
When love is based on fear...

When we love, we presume so much...especially from a distance. Excellent, Lori.

Excellent poem, Lori. Sometime I think we are more afraid of what we might lose once we have it, then actually having it. Great and true words.

Lori, again such rich expressions and deep feelings...I agree with Amor in wondering if we don't sometimes assume a love form another that really doesn't have the depth we thought it did. Maybe we confuse our own and project it on to them for we so long for them to feel the same way we do....;-)

Yes very good emotional projection.

"My unchecked thoughts would quiet-in the harbor of your crescent understanding"...it is odd how that love we feel and thought to be eternal and exclusively ours can possibly be transfered over to someone else" I have to wonder whether we interpreted that kind of love correctly or not. Beautiful write as always Lori
