The way he lights up a room
whenever he walks through the door
the radiance of his smile
when his eyes look only at me
the warmth of his body
when he lies next to me at night
embraces,
comforts,
and
pleasures
lifting me up
and rescuing me
a sea-ravaged vessel
drawn ever closer to the shores
he is my beacon of hope
when the darkness descends upon my mind
and the shadows swallow me whole
Such deep heartfelt emotions.
I miss your writing.
Carol you are always so kind and supportive. I was traveling the past 4 weeks with no access to wi-fi. It was fabulous! I also just endured two debilitating losses-one the subject of many of my poems, including this one. Hopefully I will be writing prolifically again soon. I have missed you, too. I got off facebook back in November, and am missing out on the Virily Facebook user group.
Awesome heartfelt poem!!!!!!!
thank you so much! It definitely was, and is. The man whom I wrote it for lost his long battle with depression, but he did see this poem before I posted it. Thank goodness for poetry to get us through the good and bad.
Oh I am so sorry. I can relate to the depression and what can happen.
