About This Poem

Body


I lay in bed, I can almost feel your body
The curve of your back reminds me of 
A harp; elegant. Your voice the strings.

I kick the sheet in the air, light catches it
The whiteness, the pureness of you. Heat
Dissipates. Love dissipates. The draft lifts

My hair, as if you were stroking it gently.
Memories cling to the pillows, fragrant.
Now you’re gone, so has the heat, and love.

    I love this poem truly. Going into my faves! This poem is like a dream, a sexy but lonely dream. And reading it is like desperation...

    David,I'm speechless...I only choose this poem to ask what you work at...I have a good voice you know...more like an accordion than a harp though. Please tell me your hair is not long enough to put in a ponytail...If the answer is "Yes" then it's over between us, sorry.
