Vagabond Wind

Here is a link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN9CrqlcvIY

You slipped
away from me,
like the robins and
cherry blossoms when
spring ends,
and the fractured nights
of winter come.
I will search the
midnight alleys, and the
mountains of Chile.
I will listen for
your sweet laughter.
I long to taste your
honeysuckle lips, and
hear your heartbeat.
If I never find you,
I will be a lost leaf
on the lonesome
vagabond wind.

this great expression 'vagabond wind' saved til the very end was really satisfying. watching a leaf being blown away, and identifying with it -- this is the essence of poetry, and it was very well done here. applause.
