    love's memory in a cup

    here i am by the window,
    cold coffee cup in hand,
    deep in thought about you
    in that faraway land.

    has it really been twenty years
    of longing, emptiness, fears?

    how i miss you guessing my thoughts
    on love's forgotten meanings.
    i miss you missing my thoughts
    on life's endless could have beens.

    now i stare outside the window,
    but instead of you cradling me,
    my hands are wrapped around a coffee cup -
    i'm sipping love's memory.

    beautiful! wonderful analogy,....simple and well written! a lost love, simply remembered...nice job! thanks for sharing...

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
