Waiting

I recede deep into the hall
Of rusty memories.
Remembering you.
A surge of emotion
A ocean of tears
Waves crashing on my eyelids

Regret
Trivial word wars.
Tormented by your
significant absence
I wait
Hoping
to see you again

    This piece has an ebb and flow of intense emotion. I forgot it was a prompt! Well done…I hope it is not auto-biographical, but poetry this genuine often is.

  4. Great poem! Loved the “hall of rusty memories,” I think many of us have one of those.
