"Alone and Longing"

As I sit here writing these words to you,
I wonder if you can possibly comprehend the longing
That is flowing through my very being.

There are times when the miles that separate us Don't seem quite so distant;

But there are other times, like tonight,
When it seems no matter how far I stretch my arms,
I can't seem to reach you ~ to touch you.

How I long to feel the strength of your arms around me As they hold me close and safe.

The desire to feel my head resting upon your warm chest,
And hear the gentle beating of your heart
Is overwhelming.

It is an amazing and joyous feeling

To know beyond any doubt,

That simply by moving my body ever so slightly,
Or by softly moving my hand as it rests in yours,

I will feel the quickening of your heartbeat

As our bodies exchange private, tender and intimate messages
Without a single word being spoken.

We are together!

These last 3 or 4 that I posted were written a little while back. I decided to put them back on in my 'portfolio'.


Thanks so much for your comments, Laura.
It's because of the response from kind and caring people like yourself, that give many of us the incentive to keep writing.

You have such a big, loving heart!

I do know the first half of this poem
But unfortunately not the latter...
Still it got my attention to some degree
That I can relate and long for...

Thanks for sharing Mady

And do keep flowing
Your signature form of poetry
