My lover is a ghost in my mind
Oh how I yearn to touch
Sending wishes across time and space
For the ache is becoming too much

Soft kisses from her breath
Brush my lips in parted pose
Out to the dreamless night
My thoughts of her goes

My loneliness is measured in miles
Sundered from her presence
Skin screams for salvation
Which pays my penance

Burning with desire to melt
In the heat of her whisper
A caress of a soul’s energy
We share in the transfer

I kind of felt like this was how you feel when you're getting so so close

and it never peaks.

Good write.

Across the miles, through the wires maybe....yearning for the tangible..
that ache clear in your words~

Allura...thanks, the ache is sometimes to be appreciated.

Kaoru...curious as to what you meant about getting close, and never peaking?

Burning with desire to melt
In the heat of her whisper

Yearn this intense should bring breathing substance to ghosts... or make flesh and blood female lose all breath. *S* Beautiful work!

CG? I think I know what Kaoru means.

It's like waking up before you get to the "money shot"...



But of course, your description is much more romantic and poetic.

The ladies are right on...what feels so good is sometimes so far away, that we will never touch it, that only the memory, or thought of the possibility, can suffice.

Your love knows, CG; and may it always be so.

Wonderful write. I've a lot of catching up to do with all of my wonderful poets to read.
