I leave today for distant skies
A journey needing no goodbyes
For though I leave my love behind
One happy thought still fills my mind
I know whenever I’m away
My heart reminds me everyday
That she’s with me in living dreams
Of glittering stars and moonlit beams
I see the world through what we share
Through all the trials and doubts we bare
There is no place that I can go
Without the stream of our love’s flow
So even when I’m on my own
It feels like I am not alone
The sights and sounds of foreign lands
Are rainbow mists in which she stands

Icarus: Favourite Love Poems
This creative collection, now in its 2nd edition, brings together love poems by Wayne Visser. The anthology traces love’s agony (“Broken Dreams”) and ecstasy (“Galaxies Cart-Wheeling”), from first blush (“Almost Strangers”) to full bloom (“Say ‘I Do!’”), as we fly to love. You’ve given me the gift of golden wings / The endless sphere of blue imaginings / The chance to rise above the silver clouds / The will to cast off untold ghostly shrouds / Don’t fly too high / Don’t rise too fast / Don’t tease the sky / Don’t taunt the past / You’ve given me the hope of warmer days / The blessed kiss of the sun’s fiery rays.
