Love is

By BetaWolfinVA

the joy
of hearing the others voice
the rapture
of her touch
the feel of a long hug
in the morning before she woke up and left for work
.
the distorted features
in a small window
the atonal messages
on the screen
the wishing to hear
what the important one is saying
.
the loneliness in the house
after the other is gone
the silent screams
i dare not give voice to
the wondering
if i am finally free
.
to find another dream
perhaps one that
wouldn't find it averse if lightning
should strike for the third time
one that i could truly love
as well as the one that might not return

    At first I got the feeling of "oh no"...shhh it's my secret...then I started wondering...wonderful writing here...

  • A former member wrote: Very insightful into one night stands with ex-girlfriends or ex-wives. The feel of the moment is amazing and the regret of later is terrible. Great Read

    I think it would be easier to just be struck by the lightning. Excellent piece. Later -
