Miss Me At Sunset

When I'm forever gone,

bury me between the lyrics

of your most beautiful poem

so I'll never be forgotten.

When I'm forever gone,

seek my essence among

the petals of the white rose,

or with the smell of freshly

brewed morning coffee.

When I'm forever gone,

Seek my voice in a sweet

songbirds sonnet, or with

sounds of calm raindrops

upon an old tin roof.

When I'm forever gone,

scatter my ashes in winds

like seeds of a Dandelion.

For once I'm forever gone,

miss me at every sunset and

feel my touch at every dawn.

(Previously published in Stanzaic Stylings)

De Nardos

I can not accept that

you are forever gone.

I can still see your smile

when I close my eyes.

I still remember you with,

The singing of the cicadas

during a Mexican sunset.

The sweet smell of

freshly baked orange cake.

The sound of the rain

upon an old tin roof.

The sweetest smile

of an innocent child.

The scent of Nardos

your favorite flower.

Perhaps I told you a

thousand times that

I loved you

But I should have said it

one more time,

always one more time.

And not assume that

you already knew it.

You are still living here,

inside my heart.

But in my soul

you left an empty space

that nobody could fill ever.

You have drifted away like,

the Nardos scent in October.

Cherished Dreams

If I must leave you first and

travel into that world of wondrous

chimera my love, don't cry for me,

as that would hurt my soul.

Just close your eyes and

feel my presence by your side...

you may not see me for I now

rest inside your heart, feel me there.

Please my love, never forget our

cherished dreams, lift your face and

smile at the Full Moon and always

remember it was you who

healed my broken heart.

The body dies and becomes ashes

but the soul is eternal, and mine will

remain with you, until we meet again...

As two hearts, One soul.
