Inseparable Love

Inseparable lives, inseparable love,
Love holds us tight,
Warm memories glow bright,

As cherry blossoms glow bright,
In the Seoul sunlight,

On that day,
We made the promise always to stay,

Even in death,
Our Souls would, not part,

Hoping my prayers,
Still, reach your spirit,

Seeing your beautiful love in dreams,
Calling out to you,
My inseparable love,

I miss holding you in my arms,
I love you.

We were never good at goodbyes,
Each moment harder than the time gone before,

Two souls that have became one,
Once again begin to torn apart.

The absence of you is the absence of me,
I put my armor back on,
I tried to be strong and carry on.

The tears gathering in your eyes,
They  reflect the hurt in my heart.

But in the moment you leave,
you will never quiet know the pain of being left.
writing a poem
in this virtual community
called hello poetry
is like coming home
after a long absence

I miss you.
Here at the foot of Mount Royal
(really only a hill),
which I climbed this morning,
I miss you.

I ask what's real.
In this clamour of work,
of French and English ...

It's your touch that's real,
your eyes looking-at-me-with-love,
your lips.

Here in Montreal,
at the foot of Mount Royal,
I miss you.

Absence of light, after daylight dies
like the prey of the night
senses hunter in the sky
we’ll try to hide away
might not have another day

What have we learned, what will we find
out of the cold into the sun
we can learn how to love
we can learn how to hate
but we can’t change our fate
we can’t ever change our fate

A mystery now revealed
the way home no longer concealed
we only need to understand
how to navigate the land
the map draws the stars above
like a gateway that was gone
out in the night we’re
watching the sky,
awaiting for the sign

When the seven stars align
it's time to try and find
the path to home is long
will we make it through at all

Even today, I look at you, from a lifetime ago,
and see you on the day when your tomorrows,
were stolen away,

I love you so much,
Thank you for loving me,
Because I can still embrace you in memories; even today.

I can still walk the earth,
even though my heart hurts,
I am happy; you love me.

I know, I will hold your spirit again, in Heaven, one day,
and wipe away the tears,
because you are the Angel, who loves me.

Rest well now, my love,
see you tomorrow,
and all the tomorrows to come…

For days, foliage sat by my porch
which I've been waiting to sweep.
But the wind always seems to know what I want.
It always does the work for me.
I've planned on sitting on the couch with you
but you don't seem to sit there anymore,
only the wind does. Only my own air.

I've been accustomed to making two coffees in the morning.
But your full coffee cup always sits there until it's cold
and I always take too much to drink, that I just throw away yours.
It's a waste that even I am accustomed to bringing two plates with me to dinner when no on sits on the other seat beside me.
It is still the air that sits there.

I feel so lonely, that I talk to myself about the things that have happened; of things that never did,
just to hear you respond.
To tell me it was all a lie.
And you never answer me. Only the air does.
Only the wind blows me away.

For days, foliage sat by my porch
which I've been waiting to sweep.
But the wind has been always there,
where you should've been.
And I laugh, because it's unnatural now.
To be conforming to something that isn't even there.
I feel loneliness in my heart. Not because of people deserting me, but because they never understand when I need them to be there. :(

Heartache

Every day looking
at pictures of your
beauty, coming into view,

Memories of
ten thousand,
images, seeing the blessings in you,

Loving a magnificence as you
that I will never touch,
Missing holding you.

You enter my heart
and leave me with heartache,
in dreams every morning.  

My heart aches with sadness every day; missing you,
I want to continue to see you; my Angel in dreams.
My life became beautiful after finding you.

Even, if I can never,
be with you in this world,
and feel this heartache always,

I will endure the sadness forevermore,
Missing you,
My life became beautiful after finding you.

I will always love you, no one even more.

Staring out the front window,
At a lonely street lamp,
Shimmering through a cold rain of tears.

Looking around our home,
Visiting our sweet memories,
Wondering where you have gone,

After you left me alone,
In this empty home,

Hoping that you will come back soon,
I miss you.

Sadness flows every day,
Until midnight dreams,
Of you and me begin.
