IN YOUR ABSENCE

IN YOUR ABSENCE

A Poem by Elshaddai
"

when the people we care about are having hard times, thats usually when we know how important they are. This is a reflect reflection when that person wasn't feeling well.

"
Its in the way you smile, yes in the way your speech comes forth.
That makes me feel your presence from a mile,
Yes that brings you closer to me like an oath.
Its in the way your eyes glow,
How your brows twitch in playful gestures.
That takes my tempests to lows.
And makes every place we go to a graceful adventure.
Its in the way you appreciate the little things,
Yes how you trust and respect me in my imperfections.
That makes me straight with desire to lose my schemes,
Yes that move me to be more and support your lavishments.

Its no wonder the night stills, when you're ailed.
In your absence, the hands of joy seem to be jailed.
Its no wonder Anticipation and sorrow rempage the fort after your ship sailed.
Its no wonder how the wind rages, with no one to sooth its hunger for your resonance .
Its no wonder the world is starved off your warm ,
So the cold seeps through flesh and bones.
In despair's grasp get well,
So you can command the seas, and winds.
