Memories Flood My Eyes Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Memories pounding against my mind incessantly,
giving me no reprieve from the past.

There you were always with me, I never was lost
back then, your love enveloped me totally.

Today it is a different story, my heart has been
taken by death, there is nothing left but a huge
hole and void where it once used to be.

An entire lifetime with your love now gone, dis-
appeared, now on another horizon without me, here
I stand, looking out across the crashing waves alone.

Hoping to see you walking towards me once again,
dreaming of us together, here on the beach, holding
hands, sitting in the water.

At times making love within the crashing waves, ex-
hilarating our love making deeply and entirely,
memories like that are never to be extinguished.

Yet, now their memories flood my eyes with the tears
of your love and I miss you more than the life I used
to know.
