In heaven’s clouds
I think of you
I forgot to hold my gaze
long enough
so to pierce into your eyes
telling you how much
I love you
so to watch you smile
as I utter
words you already know
I forgot to hold your hand
while you walked
retelling your heart tales
so to remind us
this path we stroll
hand in hand
till eternity
where separation
exists not
I forgot to embrace you
moments longer
unrushed
before I departed
this time
a door called nostalgia
opened itself
ushering me into
her lounge
all I knew was scent
smiles and glances
laughter concealed
with memories
of yesterday
reminiscing
I long for
the warmth
of your nurturing
love
forever a child
in your presence
grace me more
craving the softness
of a mother’s touch
a father’s embrace
what more
shall I say
