, I Wish He Were Here Poem by Louise Tredoux

I wonder what my beloved is doing,
what line of research he is pursuing,
whether he is so immersed in his own
concerns that he forgets all about my
existence

He is not here to listen to my nonsensical
songs or strange fantasies, I hope he is safe
on his boat and comes back with the load he
went in search off, I hope he greets me with a
kiss

And misses me a little bit while he is having an
affair with the sea and its creatures, I hope he
enjoys living his dreams, but deems me worthy
to return to, I wish he were here already, telling me
all about his adventures

I wish his arms were encircling me to hold me safe
against all doubts and fears….
