How can I say
I must live without you,
for everywhere I go,
you’re there –
your face,
your stare.
Is there a way
to be without you?
For every shadow of doubt, I see you
in windows,
in mirrors,
in places.
I lost my way
without you,
but now, I‘ve found the path to
each step,
each corner,
each turn.
You had a way
about you,
so of course you’d be there,
to love,
to watch,
to care.
In my smile, there is worry
I have lost you.
I hurriedly search,
but soon
I hear,
I feel,
and I see
you everywhere.

I write poetry/prose/stories/short stories/verses for children/sketch/and have 6 chapters of a novel sitting there like that half eaten trifle in the fridge or bottle of Jack Daniels because something makes you afraid to eat it or drink... right now..
I am a proud Geordie from England's northern hemisphere and the beautiful city of Newcastle upon Tyne. I live with my lovely husband who came all the way from sunny California just for me, and my favourite animal, Bobble, our dog.
I am a member of Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth and wish we could all do more, especially today, when such a lot is wrong.

I tried to find you through WP search but couldn’t…
Great piece, some beautiful internal rhyming and the entire piece had a genuine quality to it, a congruence as well of course of emotion and pain and doubt pertaining to the subject matter. Another great read 🙂
