- When
copyright ©1997 by Stephen Craig
When you are here
The light
your smile brings into my life
makes both the sun and the moon
so pale in comparison.
The finest silk
becomes coarse wool
beside the soft touch
of your skin.
The greatest joy
I have ever known
becomes nothing compared
with the passion
of that wonderful moment
when you are here.
When you are gone
my world is emptied
as joy and light
are disappeared
and all I know
is the darkened desolation
of an empty life.
When you are gone.
