Soon
perchance
silently
she thought, smiling
in the month of June
Planting chrysanthemums
longing to hear his deep voice
She missed him more with each goodbye
blowing kisses up the moonless sky
In hopes to meet again, make absence sweet.

Nice use of the Etheree. Perhaps “he” does not reciprocate her feelings; too often there is inequity in relationships.

A soft sigh of longing
Caress one’s heart
Like a gentle touch
Of long lost lover.
Who has
Just returned
In her heart.
Sanaa, when I read your poem and the painting, you have chosen, these are, the words that speak to me, in response.

I love the warm, earthy image of the woman planting chrysanthemums in her garden, contrasted with the ethereal, romantic abstraction of her lovelorn thoughts drifting to her absent lover, and his deep voice. Also wonderful: the image of blowing kisses to the moonless sky– the new moon the perfect symbol of absence, but also the promise of recurrence; of many meetings and partings.

thing about retirement

Lovers and

can become
sibling rivals..

are made to miss the other more
than count on ever presence.. ah..

A lovely, tenderly rendered piece. “blowing kisses up the moonless sky
