Unrequited

Melting under layers under waves of love swimming in a daze of pure bliss memories suspended in time time standing still yet replaying again and again expressions of happiness the warmth of a touch lingering moments slipping away reaching out into emptiness waiting for more patiently waiting sensation draining knowing but not accepting misty confusion Painful gasping watching everything receding slowly into the distance

Hi Skat, Thanks so much! I really appreciate what a supportive welcoming community this is! I'm so happy I stumbled upon this site. I have only ever written poems for myself (which I keep hidden and tucked away). I look forward to supportive comments and constructive criticism. I already feel like I've learned a lot with all the resources on this site! ~Jean
