Absent Love Poem by Jaime Montanez Salcedo

For countless time I have been in despair,
Tasting my sadness for her love's absence,
By capriciousness of life so unfair,
Setting my aching heart in turbulence.
My senses stifled as if void robs the air,
And like mirage I eye with insolence
Her sweet image that in my mind does share,
Cherished remembrances in love's opulence.
The ebb of my sorrows I don't foresee,
Nor the bliss of her presence to my ? eye,
And so alone, forever I would be
Haunted by desires rising many a sigh,
While passionate moans in my heart roam free,
Cared by scents of her love until I die.
