Poems by Amara450

In quiet time, when day is done,
] rest my head for sleep to come,
As peace steals o'er my restless mind,
My memories your face will find,
Your gentle smile so sweet to see,
Eases my troubled thoughts for me.

In quiet times, in still of night,
When darkness shields the world from sight,
I lay awake and think of you,
I see your eyes, so warm, so true,
I feel at peace and without fear,
As in my mind I hold you near.

In quiet times, in dead of night,
My dreams take wing in silent flight,
To join with yours, the two as one,
Spirit and body, one become,
Lips joined, breath soft, hearts beating slow,
Two bodies merged in loves deep glow.

In quiet times, in dawning light,
My eyes tight closed, the dream held tight,
I feel our hearts entwined, at rest,
My cheek press'd to your soft white breast,
I keep my cherished dreams sublime,
And wait again for quiet times.

I quiet times, in days dull toil,
When reality ones dreams can soil,
I close my eyes and see your smile,
To comfort me for some short while,
And in my heart, through flight of time,
In quiet times, your dreams are mine.

Now that you're gone and I'm alone
To face the future on my own,
I wonder how, as day by day,
I struggle hard to find a way,
To justify this life of mine,
Make sense of my remaining time,
To come to terms with loss and grief,
To reconcile and find some peace,
Now that your gone, and I'm alone,
To face the future on my own.

This house, the home we strived to make,
A haven for our old age sake,
Now filled with random memories,
Of happiness that used to be,
No voices call, just silence fills,
The spaces filled by memories,
I reach at night to one not there,
Survey by day her empty chair,
Just ghosts to wander from the past,
And hollow aching in my heart.

My family and friends all try,
To ease the pain as time goes by,
With gentle words and kindly deeds,
They strive to ease emotions needs,
They help, but nothing can replace,
The one that used to fill this space,
So I return alone, and shut the door,
Absorb the emptiness once more,
Eyes full, cheeks wet, I long to hear,
The voice of one I held so dear,
I pray for strength to try each day,
Be positive, and find a way,
Through passing days and months now flown,
Now that you're gone, and I'm alone.

How would I live,
           without you by my side,
What life would breath into my soul,
           how would I survive,
You are my life, my love, my dream,
           my reason to exist,
The thought of life without you,
           I try hard to resist.

Imagine every day,
           with no sun in the sky,
The birds without a song to sing,
           as they go winging by,
Think of flowers without scent,
           a rainbow without hue,
For my love, that would be my life,
           if I lived it without you.

As life exacts it's yearly toll,
           and days pass faster still,
Ne'er mind the way the hair goes grey,
           for you are with me still,
For this I swear, on my true heart,
           if life I had again,
There are changes I would make,
           but one I would not trade.

For meeting you gave me the chance,
           to know meaning of true love,
To treasure life with one so dear,
           with companionship and trust,
With friendship and with loyalty,
           life's trials cannot deride,
I would face this mortal life again,
          if you were by my side.
