You <br />left me <br />long ago, <br />kissed me goodbye <br />with your long absence. <br />I never forget you. <br />You did not know what to say, <br />but your silence said it clearly. <br />When the sea rose in my eyes, you drowned, <br />destroying all the bridges to my past. <br /> <br />Then, fell the night like a bottle of ink, <br />writing on the shore of my body, <br />staining the sheets with suppleness. <br />I dreamed that you would return. <br />My heart swings with the tide; <br />but you are no more, <br />slumbering deep <br />in the grave <br />of my <br />eyes.<br /><br />Linda Marie Van Tassell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-grave-of-my-eyes/
