In the Mood For Love Again

Isolating myself to mourn alone, Never imagining desire for another. Two years have slipped by, Holding onto your memory. Ever faithfully yours still. Making our home into a shrine, Only now realizing what Others lovingly told me, Doom for me won't bring you back. Finding courage to live again, Overwhelming at first. Remembering feelings of desire put aside. Longing for a sensual touch, Opening my heart to another. Vaguely remembering how to begin but Excited to hope for a new love to share. Arriving at this new faze, Greatful for passion still found. Almost feeling reborn. I'm in the mood for love again. Now is the time.

Very moving - you nailed it! A complete look at a very human progression. Life without passion is just existence.

Dear Arlene, Congrats of the win. I for one would have put your poem on top. Your subject, transcends from one state to another. So smoothly accepting the facts of human desire for touch, sharing and feeling of desire. To be comforted by the feeling of new love to share. Wonderful, take it from me. I, from my end give your poem no. One. Keep this secret. Keep in touch
