traumatize me in your afterglow of brilliance hold me down in you flesh colored tenements and while the taste of you is still ripe in my mind string up my hopes with your chords of always watching the shadow of you across this room buried my face in the arms of regret and you wouldnt lie down to hold my hand i'll lose this thumbwar inside your head unraveling smiles that twist and turn i need to feel your words on my neck until i melt blue into your fingers here am i shaking off fears of your return which torment my dreams without hearing songs unsung from your hands- that caress i adore |

"and while the taste of you is still ripe in my mind string up my hopes with your chords of always" Oh my! This is truly powerful. |

welcome back seems in order here perhaps not this room but the same ocean enjoyed |

Loved the ebb and flow of this.. the bad/good, right/wrong of it.. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

watching the shadow of you across this room buried my face in the arms of regret and you wouldnt lie down to hold my hand What a significant point in this poem. Great job |
