She is missing him...
More often he finds his way
into her thoughts

Gazing at his picture
her eyes relish in their venture
trailing across the two dimentional image...

She plucks the photo from the shelf
the glossy surface winking softly
in the light
as she holds the frame close
memorizing what is known
and held in herheart..

Thick wavy locks...
groomed and perfected moonlight
eyes darkened with endless allure
their color envied by the night
lips curved into a devastating smile
her heart trips
for endless moments
as she imagines those lips
lingering above hers
his breath teasing
warmth upon her lips
she can almost taste him
and yearns to be kissed
by the desire that consumes her...

She clutches the frame to her breast
holding him close
her heart beating wildly
against his glass covered cheek
His image burns upon her skin
as he gazes out from the glass enclosure
smiling eyes
sparkle with devilish intent
whispering of thoughts unknown
a mystery captured
and imprisoned forever
upon a single slip of paper...

Breathe~
I think your heart just spoke,
because I heard it whisper.

Sensually romantic.
This is really good.

very visual and descriptive...your desire and passion come through in this poem...I liked it a lot (maybe b/c I can relate to it!)

breathe: this is beautiful and yet somewhat melancholy... it reminds me of a song that i really like by The Cure called "Pictures of You"... i guess this idea hits me so hard because i am so far away from my lover... sometimes all i have are pictures... i think you do a magnificent job here of first arousing the sensual and then giving rise to the sorrowful (though perhaps sorrowful only for those who, like me, have some experience with this)...

sincerely,
jerome the boy with no brain

 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!

Great poem, I dont think there is anything I can really do but echo everyone else here   Keep up the good work.

 I am not a poet, I am merely one who speaks in emotion

Great Poem Breathe...
I think your imagery is brilliant, this is easily the best illustration i've read for a long time.

An image is eternal
and yet it isn't real-
The colour hides beneath a pane,
a dream, in timeless space.
