Where are you my love, abandoned on this sandy shore I've scanned the faces of a thousand strangers and dreamt of you at night, your touch invoking me into this endless search At times I see inside the eyes of nameless men and glimpse your soul  Where are you my love your hair the color of an early dawn your eyes a turbulent sea now green, or gray or blue Do you search for me, at night do you awake with longing for a second self, the homecoming of recognition I see the invisible in you, the wildness and passion lush innocence of life Each year that passes  without you, I mark them all, time spent in a solitary tomb So I write this poem to you my love out in the endless world please come home to me before I die I would give the riches of a thousand years to look into your eyes and say goodbye                                                                                           ©J.L.Stanley
