Missing You
It's overcast today.
The sky is dark, the clouds are heavy.
The leaves rustle in time with the gusts of wind.
The air is cold and reflects my heart -
Missing you.
I sit on the swing at the playground
watching our children play after school;
the air makes me shiver.
The cold steel chains of the swing in my hands
are numbing like my emotions.
I no longer cry at your absence.
I no longer smile or hurt.
I am numb
because I am frozen without you.
You make my heart beat faster.
You make me gasp with surprise and delight.
You warm me with your arms and with your love.
But today there is nothing
except the invisible embrace of the air
to comfort me.
Missing you

Post a CommentAfter reading your poem, I too can feel the chillness. The imagery adds power and punch to your poem.
Wow this is beautiful. I could feel every word in your expression of how much you miss the special someone in your life. I also could identify with trying to become emotionless to deal with the loss of someone you love.
