Longing

By: Michael David Coffey

Longing
to see you
On a stormy
strand
of windswept
sand,

In a moist
rainforest
in an everlasting
shade,

On a bleached
coral outcrop
surrounded
by an azure
blue sea mirror,

In a city cafe
with your aroma
in my yearning
nostrils,

In a spice
market
in Bombay,

Even
in my dreams
and remembering
afterwards...

That's longing
