Then

When I think of you,
look at your picture,
hear your sweet voice
I'm reminded of the
sensuality we shared.

Then...

As you know
I have memorized
your kiss and
recorded the texture
of your lips
to sustain me until
you're in my
arms again.

And again,
and again,
and again.

So upon
that day
please don't hesitate
and for goodness sake
don't be late,
I can hardly wait
to see you then.

James,

This works pretty well.  The repeated "and again" is all right in this case.

See that dear RDB, nah-nah-nah-naaaah.

And

I smiled.

And then
I read Roniece
amd smiled.

And then
I read Bobby

And then
I went to work.

Very beautifully done, James. It's a theme I approach with much caution, as so often "love" poems are too much about the poet's personal problems as opposed to excellence in prosody.

Regards,
