there are times
in the dwindling
of the day
when I no longer
think of you
what your warmth
could be
don’t need
for I feel you
in my heart
shaped bones
splintered
for all times
feel you in
the curve of
my hand like
electricity
sending fire
down my spine
the light gone
bled out into
night softness
unknown
curls me now
how felt it is
a bit like leaves
on the move
without the wind
the single leaves
fondling air
one day I will
touch you
we will melt
and just
not be there

noh where 
That is so beautiful thank you for sharing. X
Thanx, 😉
do you ever think they will just not be there…or will something of them still linger on in us…i am thinking of loss here and the memories do fade but still there alwasy seems to be a bit of them that will jump into our minds occassionally…love how you relate this to the leaf ma’am
And you young man would be right! 😉
This is a beautiful poem, Liz. I think the most important place where love resides is within one’s heart….you don’t need to feel for the person, for you know the person is there IN your heart. I like ‘leaves on the move without the wind.’ And the ending was stellar…the melting and just not being there. Fine metaphoric writing.
Wow – thank you, very much Mary – thank you.
I loved this – such peaceful energy you drew me right into that space, of knowing. One of your best!!!!
Energy drew you – I love that.
I love how you painted all the love with images… the pace of the poem is just perfect, calm, but with a passion in each step… great write
Thanks Bjorn – just writing what I was feeling, which may well be the key to writing love poetry.
Beautifully written Liz ~ I love that part of about shaped bones and leaves ~ There’s sadness in the end, well done dear ~
A compliment upon a love poem from you is quite meaningful young lady. I am glad that you liked it.
i love the feeling the other physically even though they’re not there…beauty…
Thank you Claudia.
Some things you just can’t not think about.
Laurie – well said, I simply “felt” this when I wrote it. It poured out – no rewriting.
I love it when that happens.
This is just gorgeous!
Hi Audrey – thank you.
Gently loving. Nice, Liz! 🙂 Lots of heart. It’s lovely.
Hi Jamie – thinking of you – hope you are doing well, think that I missed you yesterday and wondered where you were.
I did post a pre-scheduled poem, but I still keep falling asleep and so have fallen behind in everything online and off. LOL! But am doing well and hope you are. I popped off an email yesterday . . .
I’m so pleased to see you posting poetry again, Liz. Have missed it. Hugs! 🙂
That’s great right there.
Thanks for coming by Skyraftwanderer.
