Horses in the shadow of a cross <br />As it begins to rain- <br />And my parents are somewhere <br />(Maybe in Spain) <br />And you are somewhere. <br />Where are you? But don’t look <br />Behind us, my dear, <br />Because the waves have taken the <br />Evidence of our time together <br />Away- <br />We were together yesterday, <br />But not today- <br />How I long for you, I cannot say- <br />Because everything we knew about <br />Each other we have cast <br />Away- but there remains a Ferris <br />Wheel in my heart for you- <br />And it keeps a light for you even <br />After you have gone, <br />And reciprocates through the memories, <br />As it rains softly over the emptiness <br />You have left in my body <br />As you have gone- The rain continues <br />Whispering to the echoes of you <br />Rippling in my hidden lawn- <br />Where I lay naked waiting for you, <br />Expectantly, even after you have gone.<br /><br />Robert Rorabeck<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/even-after-you-have-gone/
