It Has Been So Long... Poem by Mihaela Pirjol

It Has Been So Long...

Rating: 5.0


It has been so long since I last saw you…
I am afraid that I may have forgotten
To seek your sight

In places that I go:
Without my being there.

You have been with me for so long…
I no longer count the seasons,
The quivery stars, the glances we imparted…

I have been wandering through years, lost and alone;
Alone with your phantom, looking for you:
It felt so lonely…

Yet, not lonelier and desolate than now,
When you seldom appear to me:
It's been so long, my dearest…!

Sometimes, in my dreams,
I wake up with a teardrop dripping down my face:
Washing you away, taking you further from me:

I can no longer hold you
In this tired mind of mine the way I used to:
I lost you with losing myself.

Bereft of love—I am bereft of life:
You cannot survive in an empty shell!

For that is what I have become:
An empty shell, rustling aimlessly
In a mad ocean…

returned to this poem in the middle of the night because it is exquisite, stunning, gloriously beautiful :) 'It’s been so long since I last saw you, I am afraid that I may have forgotten To seek your sight In places that I go, Without my being there; You have been with me for so long… I no longer count the seasons; The quivery stars, the glances we imparted.....' stanza after stanza carries me away :) wonderful :)

'I have been wandering through years lost and alone; Alone with your phantom looking for you; It felt so lonely… ' seems like an etching echo silhouette defining a few intense times in my life, so wonderfully written, saving a few of your recent poems now :)
