Kiss my lips hold my hand
Here with broken heart I stand
Your sweet warm scented gentle touch
Oh to me it means so much
Your grace filled presence fills my eye
As I stand here and wonder why?
Why these things just had to be
These thoughts are now destroying me
No more to lie in your sweet arms
No more to kiss your rounded charms
No more to feel the touch of you
Tell me now what can I do?
My tears are falling waterfalls
Say your sorry conscience calls
My life is walking down the road
I’m in your debt I’ve always owed
My clouding eyes no longer see
My soul is now deserting me
My sudden stupid ill thought word
Has pierced me now with sudden sword
The sun is crying overhead
The moon is weeping the stars are dead
Heavens falling from the sky
I stand and watch the pavements cry
Words are scrambling in my chest
But one small word it will not rest
I stand suspended no more real
I cannot tell these thoughts I feel
The cage is closing round my head
I really know what’s to be said
My lips are running after me
In one last burning cry……sorry

What words can desribe the feelings inside

"to kiss your rounded charms" mmmmm Jon. You got me again. Great poem, Freud would have a reason why those words stood out for me

Jon you are an awesome writer.  As I've said before, you have a way of making the reader "feel".  Amazing how one word can make or break a relationship, which you've so poignantly pointed out.  Good job.

A beautiful poem, Jon. It describes the feelings felt when you say something you didn't mean...

Thanx everybody as usual your very kind.
I can't explain this feeling when people enjoy my efforts. Thanx.
