Simple Touch

By BetaWolfinVA

just the simple touch
of your hand in mine, ne'er leaves
my mind, sweet torture
-
the thought of your lips
kissing mine is my constant
memory, and pain
-
i hope that you are
happy, with him, while I am
lonely with her, love
-
would that i could have
held fast honor and love both
chose one, cold honor
-
and the pain of your
ever-present, loud, absence
screaming in my mind

glad that you enjoyed it, even with the most important role in my life (possibly) coming soon, i still cannot do aught but regret what was lost along the way to my hubris, and pride

some times i believe that this is my most eloquent piece, the one that makes my life the most clear... i am glad that you liked it
A former member wrote: Personally, I have felt a touch that burns like fire and lightning within me, tingles my soul and makes my body tremble... And the "ever-present, loud, absence screaming in my mind" is something I will be happier with when I've lost it (those words you wrote are amazing and I can relate to those last lines immensely)... Thank you for your beautiful words and your awesome work... For you and your lovely comment on my poem Lost in a Dream, I think my next will be titled Wantâ€¦

This is the one that i cannot get out of my mind... she left me 13 years ago... and she still texts me occasionally when her depression or her husbands gets to hard for her to deal with... some times i think she is my only friend... but that is not the case...
