without you
outside hangs a wet
misty grey blanket
which enfolds and comforts
the earth
as
in my arms
i want to hold you now

fields waiting in sadness shades
yellow and brown
dull beauty smudged
reeds sway water ripples
quietly winding stream dreamy
always seeking

misty rain veils dull grey
cold over my longing for you
sleepy yearning
lost in drizzle drowsy thoughts

drab woeful sombre threatening
dark cloud drifting dim and hazy
rain grieves
wind mourns shivering aches

sorrow blows with cold grey mist
far
over waving rain grass plains
searching
for you

ain't no sunshine when she's gone, it ain't warm when she's away

Striking visual metaphor of the comfort and joy with enjoyed love present.

Made me think also of Narnia and the land locked in winter until Aslan returns to it, giving Life and joy..

Thanks Rhiannon! I've always found the thought of such misty grey days as very romantic, indoors then a log cabin, a fireplace with good company. Hot soup and "wild flowers in a mason jar!" warm fresh bread cuddling close and warm love everywhere.

And my poem does remind one of Narnia doesn't it? Your weather over there should become rather more pleasant now “when Aslan bares his teeth winter meets it's death”!

I am pleased that I've had so many comments on this poem.

All the best & Nolan
