Winds Whisper Your Name

winds whisper your name 

and gently caress my face 

they carry memories on their wings 

of the last time we met

tides played touch-and-go  

as I stood on tippy toes

to kiss your lips

I look towards the horizon  

waiting to see your sailboat

approaching the shore

the blue moon covers the sea

with emerald rhinestones  

and veils of sapphire wishing stars 

saltmarsh sparrows sing

perched on dancing reeds

calling their mates

my heart aches with yearning

drowning in melancholic loneliness

~ missing you ~
