I saw you today
In my periphery
An echo of the shadow
of a sigh
Escaped my throat
So amazed
I saw you today
Walking swiftly past
With that tell-tale smile
That you used to reserve for me
Polished up for the day
I saw you today
Arm in arm with her
The one who knew you better
Even when I thought I did
And I wish I could capture you
on film
I wish I could make you stay
Frozen in time and space
To serve my selfish needs
But you needed to fly
To soar
To reach for the stars
And while I understand
I need you to know
That I’ll never stop
loving you
I saw you today
In my periphery
The echo of a shadow
of a sigh
That will always exist
inside me
Where you belong.

This is really beautiful, nice job!
Thank you very much. It means a lot to me!
Keep writing hun!
Are you sure you’re Russian? 😉
Hahah why are you questioning my nationality? 😉
Not a real question hun. Just thought it was interesting that anyone Russian would use the word “hun.” I really like your blog.
Oh, thank you!! And as to answer your question, I guess you could say that I’m a pretty americanized Russian.
Works for me. 😉
very nice! free form, but yet structured. I like it.
Thank you Daryl. I tend to drift toward that style of poetry. I like form, but I don’t like such rigid form.
Well done!
