A Long Long Love

Been a long long time
since we made somethin of love,
Been a long long time
since I had your poetic kiss
the one I miss
on these lonely lips,
Been a long long wait
after work and war
my heart sore,
Been a long long wait
lookin for your lovely gait,
Been a long long need
knowin that your wings
aren't heavy with hurt,
Been a long long need
havin your sweet comfort,
Been a long long dream
holdin your hair in my hands
Been a long long dream
feelin your breaths in my arms,
Been a long long time
since we made somethin of love,
Been a long long time
since we first fell in love -

J.A.B.

This poem aches in the best way. A beautiful tribute to enduring love and longing.

Laura Breidenthal Date: 10/26/2017 8:57:00 PM "knowin that your wings aren't heavy with hurt"...Love is such a topic that so many poets can flourish on. Through expression and influences of longing, of affection and to gain a new insight...sometimes to express a heartache defying description. This was a dear one, Justin, simple in language, yet profound and poignant all the same. Always, Laura Login to Reply Justin Bordner Date: 10/28/2017 6:30:00 PM Yes Poetess, on one wing, love can bring us closer to ourselves like a poem to a poet, and on the other wing love will propell us to make the heart and majestic flight of another just as important as ourselves. I composed this poem to be lyrical, beautiful, and naturally rhythmical.I love your understanding of this special poem Laura...J.A.B.
