Old Poem Revisited: From So Far Away

Cant quite remember when I wrote this; bout 5 years ago. One of my better old ones so I thought I'd share it with y'all. As always, you feedback is desired and greatly appreciated so let me know what you think.

From So Far Away By M. Ali

from so far away, your face still shines
like fading sunsets so vivid in my mind
from so far away, does your voice still ring
in the back of my mind like sweet songs to sing
from so far away, I breath your sweet scent
of jasmine and roses, on winds do they hint
from so far away, I remember your touch
the gentle caress that I yearn for so much
from so far away, I still feel your presence
healing my soul with your comforting essence
from so far away, I cling to your love
like raindrops on lilies that come from above
from so far away, alone in my room
I pray to my god that I'll see you soon
from so far away, it feels like forever
to the day, I know again we'll be together

Latest Poem By M.Ali

Here's my latest poetic creation. Tell me what you think.

Still Waters By M. Ali

My life like still waters
Looking up and drowning
murky , dark and warm
broken heart yet still pounding
I breath like a dream
forgetting at times
I speak with a scheme
in rhythm and rhyme
I sleep more than not
forgetting the day
awake in the eve
forgetting to pray
I long for His mercy
I plead for His grace
I long for a sign
a glimpse of her face
the memories burn
as my thoughts run in haste
thoughts of a time
and thoughts of a place
when life was carefree
and living was fun
when I was a king
and forever young
now life’s like a chore
more burden than boon
though I wish not for death
lest later than soon
for so many things
have I yet to achieve
and so many truths
have I yet to perceive
but how can I rise
from such a deep sounding
when my life is still waters
looking up and drowning
