My Longing Poem by nadi pickering

Memories still haunt my being with
the life we once had
Together
The love we shared and the children we beard
Cannot change my longing
oh the gods know how i miss your
tender touch
Your loving gesture
And teasing jokes.
I am now of age
With strands of silver and skin like
Old silk
Will cherish always your
Love for me through the past thirty years.
In your deepest sleep to the heavens,
please wait for my presence.
