In Your Absence Poem by Vlad Mutuleanu

In Your Absence

Rating: 5.0


It`s night, in the middle of July
The moon shines the sky
But even though this night is beautiful
The only person I love is still out there, missing.

Somewhere, through countless oceans and mountains
And never-ending wilderness,
The same night sky I see
It`s watching over her, for me.

Right now she`s far away
So my heart is stagnant
But when it sees her
It beats like no other.

The miles between us
Have made me a poet
Otherwise, in your presence,
I´m silent as a feather.

I love you
But I don`t know how to say it,
It seems that words
Lack what`s necessary.

The power of my love
Lies only in my heart,
So to put it into words
It`s like, finding a needle, in a haystack.

What`s more,
It`s that I miss you
The miles to one person
Have never been so painful.

Time moves slowly
It`s like, eternity
He is an ice cold torturer
Of my already tortured waiting.

Every day I think of you
And every day I count the days
Till I´ll see you again
Hopefully, finally saying 'I Love You'.

But there is still some time
And I can only hope
That wherever you are
You are as free
As the feelings in my heart.

Absolutely incredible, wonderful, and very powerful! ! Instills deep and moving feeling since the very beginning. July is important just as the summer months always are. The miles between us Have made me a poet Otherwise, in your presence, I´m silent as a feather. I love you But I don`t know how to say it, It seems that words Lack what`s necessary. The power of my love Lies only in my heart, So to put it into words... My need to fill the absence of 'you' has seen me take to the pens and notebooks. How would I act if I were with 'you'? Jumping and twirling in bursting joy and glee? Perhaps standing quiet and tearing for the bliss I perceive. I know how to tell 'you' and what to say. I'm not at a loss of words but rather caught in the wave of time constantly wrestling me. My words are deep. They can be powerful and strong. But what I need is time with 'you.' Maybe even a hug? I love 'you, ' but at this point, what are words but just my ramblings? I've often decided to leave it at I love 'you.' I love 'you' because you are amazing. Really amazing. The power of love is with me everyday. To put my experiences with and feelings for 'you' could possibly take a decade. To put these into words would be a great and powerful record that would prove, to generations to come, my love for 'you' and the immense influence 'you' have been for me. Thank you so much for inspiring me to reflect and spill these words! !
