chantelle ribeiro Poems

The yearning
It kills me
Missing you
Pain indescribable
...

It smells like Summer
Like wet earth smells after a rain storm
Fresh and sweet like wildflowers
Like the sultry scent of the ocean
...

I look at you
Still a beautiful woman
but life has written
its complex lessons
...

Old photographs are all that's left of you
The Autumn leaves have fallen
All around upon the ground
Scattered like my memories
...

It aches when I breathe
I search your eyes
looking for a trace of your soul
You stare at me sometimes
...

Do you know what love is?
This is love...
What you do for those around you
how you protect the ones dearest to you
...

It is not all about you
You love
only when the sun shines upon your face
You lie
...

I had a dream
A vivid scene
My funeral
A beautiful white chapel
...

I miss you...
In a world of trouble
where nothing makes sense
Where we hang on to every hope
...

I will die for you
I will turn my life inside out
Just to see you smile
Your lips haunt my days
...
