Is It You

A poem about a person who dreams about what tomorrow may bring.

Is It You

I see when I close my eyes

Into a darkened abyss, your portrait has fallen.

Is It You

Who walks by my side

A thousand miles-the scent of the gardenia has drifted.

Is It You

Whose poesy sings to my heart

Like a whisper chants the angelic choir.

Is It You

Who caresses my hand

Alas, the winter chill has numbed my soul

Is It You

Who nurtures me with Tiramisu

Like dried tears of joy-Oh so forgotten.

Is It You

To whom I utter the woes of my thoughts

For words of wisdom eternally blow in the wind forever to hear.

Is It You

Oh, but why but why

Did we not just sit side by side?

Is It You

I search for and do not find

In the fog of night-you vanished, but in my heart and dreams, you shall always remain.
