Every Time I Close My Eyes Poem by ANDREW BLAKEMORE

Every Time I Close My Eyes

Rating: 5.0


Every time I close my eyes
I think of you my dear,
Although your image will not fade
I wish you were still here.

Just to see you smile again
To laugh and share a joke,
I cherish every word you said
The final time we spoke.

As you will stay forever young
In turn I must grow old,
Although I cannot touch you now
Your memory I will hold.

Such beauty that you did possess
Your long dark flowing hair,
The warmth within your chestnut eyes
Your skin so soft and fair.

I longed to say I love you
I'll regret this to the end,
Until the time we meet again
My everlasting friend.

This poem was written as a tribute to a dear friend called Joanne who collapsed and died at a tragically young age. I still miss her so much.

Life is a journey, there are rocks and streams, there may come a time when we learn from the way that they act as one, not questioning just seeing Love duncan X
