When your pillow lies empty.

My eyes can't look away.

I savor your scent as it burns like incense.

The lingering taste of your lips teases.

The fleeting feel of your skin floats.

Separation sinks in an undertow of meaningless words.

I yearn for bold sun to shine.

Captive spirits intertwine.

Two become one again.

Inseparable.

When butterflies dance and toes touch sand.

I reach out for your delicate hand.

When stars dot the sky, making the night whole.

Memories of you serenade my faint soul.

When the wind whispers your name.

I search for signs on the horizon.

Your presence hunts me down and surrounds.

Waves rise up and collapse at the shore.

My lonely, aching heart declares ...

Hauntingly & longingly beautiful sentiments. This is the poster child for how to turn heartbreak into art (helpful inspiration for new writers who can sometimes turn it into a rant or whine). I like the way you loosely fashion your rhymes along with repeated word sounds & alliteration, enhancing the "rolling wave" motif (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

This is Beautiful. I am fascinated by this. There is a peaceful melody to these words and I believe them. Every on of them. These words bring visuals of sentiment with pillows, bare skins, beaches and kisses. Straight up and excellent written Love poem .

The undertow was sad Pete drawing both the writer and the reader on painful memories that were beautiful moments.
