Richard Lamoureux Poet Lyric

April Showers Sun and Flowers

Anacreontic Verse

I sit silent
within this moment
Not knowing
If you are willing
To touch me
in a way
that truly matters
For I need you
To caress my skin
For it has been
a long winter
of wanting
My skin glistens
April fresh
showered clean
for this reunion
Within my longing
My spirit knows
You don't sense my need
Although you feel close
There is a distance
Unmeasurable
Around your red glow
I feel sad blue
Please tell me
Why you keep hiding
Please break through dark clouds
gift me your yellow
Kiss me now
So that I "May" bloom!

Casarah Nance April 2, 2016 at 7:57 AM I like the demands of the last line.. kiss me now! like it is going to make the blue just disappear and you know it, it is a strong ending. This poem feels the longing, the wanting, and the desire to make everything alright. :) Richard Lamoureux April 2, 2016 at 8:05 AM I am not that familiar with the form so I hope I got it right.
