Poem Inspired By Favourite Poems

Poem inspired by First & Last - Amelie Pascual
To the Desert - Benjamin Alire  Sáenz 
It may not always be so; and I say - E.E Cummings
When you are old - W.B Yeats
This is Just to Say - William Carlos Williams

It's been so long

It's been so long, that
I can't remember the way you smile
Or
What shade of blue your eyes were
Not even
The small gestures of your hands, fluttering
Out of the corner of my eye
It's been so long, that
I can't remember the warmth of you
That used to be so
comforting
And sweet
Your laughing face lit golden
By the sun
And even though
It's been so long
I still wish


We could return to those days
