Walking in the store tonight I happened upon a Body Pillow. How interesting I thought. A pillow in exchange for the body I no longer hold next to me. A pillow to replace you. Odd. The Pillow. But there were no arms or legs to wrap around me. Though I could wrap myself around it. The Pillow. There was no shoulder for my head. Though I could hold my head there. The Pillow. There was no face to trace the outline of nose, eyes, lips. But I could place my face to it. The Pillow. No hand to hold. But I could hold it. The Pillow. No manhood left to glean pleasure from. Just the Pillow. There was no heart or soul to divine from The Pillow. Just as there has been no heart or soul from you. Now, The Pillow.
I don't mean to make a joke out of what is obviously a serious and heart felt poem, nurc. It just struck me as funny when I looked beside me while I was reading this and saw my own body pillow.
Softly whispered sounds in the night Revealing thoughts of the moment Not to be remembered except in dreams that last too short a time and never to be echoed in the morning
Genoa
Walking along the shore near Genoa Waves daintily lapping the beach Sun is down and moon not risen A chill wind cutting sharply through me Until you take me in your arms And I find myself in never ending fantasy Of deep sea dreams entombing me In dark, cold wet dungeons of despair.
I release myself from your embrace Which feels like a grip holding me viselike With no relief from the pain and pressure Unless I remove myself from this fantasy Of deep sea dreams entombing me And float gently to the shore of mercy.

LOL Tis no problem at all. One feels what one feels when reading. I appreciate that you did so and had that emotion of jealousy!!!
Beautiful posts, Nurcee...and I can relate all too well. It's not a body pillow, but I do have a pillow that I cuddle with when I have the need to feel like I'm curling up with someone. No, it's definitely not the same.
Someday, I hope a man's head will be on that pillow, and his chest will be mine, with his arms wrapped around me. When that finally happens, what a glorious and long-awaited night it will be.
He became the sunshine I sought each morning and the laughter I long for during those boring moments of another normal day. But mostly he was the shoulder I lay my head to for security when no one else got me.
graceful lines shadowed by the moon move to the rhythm of the breeze carrying the blurs of forgotten memories making the haze of our youth more palatable
how once we cherised the sharp contrast of black and white we now prefer the vagueness of those times perfect in our mind, more clear than they were at occurence safely sheltered in our soul, never to be disturbed by truth
discussed in the round with friends anew dramatized, or made more humorous than true it's our own memories; ours for the taking ours for the sharing
remembered in the way we wish not the way it was our perfect youth re-lived in our waning days

Hi Dru: thank you for reading. I wish those things for you and send light your way.
Most of these have been written over the past 2 years and kept on my computer files. Sometimes I just have to rewrite or tweak them a bit. Sometimes the need is there.

a Body Pillow.

I no longer hold next to me.
A pillow to replace you. Odd.
The Pillow.
But there were no arms or legs to wrap around me.
Though I could wrap myself around it.
The Pillow.
There was no shoulder for my head. Though I could hold my head there.
The Pillow.
There was no face to trace the outline of nose, eyes, lips.
But I could place my face to it.
The Pillow.
No hand to hold. But I could hold it.
The Pillow.
No manhood left to glean pleasure from.
Just the Pillow.
There was no heart or soul to divine from The Pillow. Just as there
has been no heart or soul from you.
Now, The Pillow.
