It has been long since
I’ve seen you last, glad to
See you’re breathing, still
Ready tongued and ripe

Racing, racing now –
My heart compelled to
Pound at the sight of you

What is this fire burning
Inside my restless rooms,
Threatening to break
Through my thick walls,
Thick walls, what is this?

I have been pale and bony
Since you pulled your
Fingers from my hair,
Yourself from my thighs
I have been absent from
Myself

Where are you now? Have
I dreamed you and dream
You still?

What is this, this, and this –
Overwhelming my every
Thought and waking move

It has been long, so very long,
Since I devoured your skin, so
Why can I still taste you on my
Tongue?

*sigh* so vivid in its emotion and full of longing...
these kinds of memories and that kind of taste only fade with time, meaningless rebounds, and alcohol.
well, that was my cure....

I write so that people think and can gather their own opinions,emotions and even feel as if they have a personal relationship to the poem. So really you can't go wrong..

I feel like I'm trying to chew on air. What part of it would you like some more insight on? Since it's very clear to me line for line (because I'm the author) it can be difficult for me to elaborate without any direction.

Thank you both for your replies.

Before I go, one question I'm curious on. Is this now, or then? Let me know if you get that.

I liked the poem. Very well written. I like your style. I think you have a lot of talent. I think I know exactly what this poem is about. Well done.
