Soft Side

Yesterday,
my soft side
was lonely
aching,
missing
wondering,
still missing
thought touches
nowhere
quiet
everywhere

'til whispers
brushed my lips
breezed me their kisses
taunted my mind
angst my body

and then arrived
dream roses...
last night
held them
inhaled their scent
felt their velvety softness
as petal by petal
placed them on my pillow
surrounding my mind
with tomorrow thoughts
as sleep invaded
drifted off to ~~sigh songs
and the rhythm of hearts
and the promise
of today

Now that is the way to shine into a new day. lovely verse and I see it is one of yours from last year but You need to live by this today.  It has healing powers written all over it.

Mo - This was from last year???  OK, Lady - now fill us in on what has happened sionce then, and it better be happy stuff, too!  I like the imagery your prose invokes - you use line breaks very well to carry the import of each line.

Mark ...thank you...yes many poet friends  on another site  inspire me to write..sometimes in response to their loving words and sometimes just because they are who they are..this was one of those

hmm let's see...where do I start...
I  felt alone and abandoned for many reasons the last year and a half...discovered  poetry on the net..made many friends whose words comforted and inspired me and taught me to  become someone I didn't know existed..desires and all...then the  alcohol addiction for my other half continued to increase...then my sad poems..then...a little divorce discussion last week..and now maybe some relief...as to knowing I tried and couldn't do a thing to help him..and he wants out since he's tired of my wanting him to get help...that's about it I think..oh yes..he surprised me with one more thing this week...said he has a girlfriend now...a younger bar maid.. who woulda thunk   ~~~~~sighhhhhhhh~~~~
~~soft thoughts
