I Miss Your Laughter -

by Nicholas Gordon

 

  I miss your laughter, fun, and gentleness.

 

I miss the things I used to do for you.

 

 I miss the time, now filled with emptiness,

 

When each day was a stage for something new.

 

 

I miss your love, though mine for you remains,

 

A passion with no outlet to the sea,

 

 A teardrop in a desert, that contains

 

 

What's left of my maternal ecstasy.

 

I miss your presence, like a silent chord

That anchored even solitude in grace.

 

 

I miss for my love's labor, the reward

 

Of seeing some small pleasure in your face.

 

All these I miss,
 

and yet they are all here

 

Within my heart,

far more than I can bear.
