As a Child I Grieve

Softly,silently as a child I grieve,for the touch of my beloved unrequited love, for the laughter of my children distant,for when nights are ambushed by the coldness of quiet rooms,when the estasy of every memory inquires of my loneliness,when the absence of touch chills me to the bone,when there is no pillow to rest my sorrows upon,when mornings arise and I find my arms around a stranger,I softly,silently grieve as if a child.

Harper, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) HAPPY HOLIDAYS. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
