Tender love was all I had <br />Soft touches, subtle gazes, lingering <br />Moments in embrace <br />A smile of stupor <br />Given in mind-addling love. <br />She was everything, <br />A world with hope, <br />A taste of the divine, <br />A wish of the sublime. <br />My home was empty <br />She was gone, forever, <br />But I would find her in <br />All things, in hooded sun, <br />In the name-whispering <br />breeze scented with her perfume, <br />in the dreamless darkness <br />in which she walked. <br />I would find her in all moments <br />Filled with joy and tears, <br />But in darkness, even in darkness, <br />I would look back <br />And she would be gone, <br />Lost to the world, <br />A hopeless world <br />Built without dreams. <br />Dreams live only for the future.<br /><br />Resten Swondo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/orpheus-and-eurydice-5/
