This is similar to another poem I wrote last year called, I've Lost All Sense, which is a lyric(song). For the poetry contest of the same name
Deprived of your love All the lights would wink out In darkness I'd wander Direction in doubt The fear would creep up And breath on my neck Deprived of your love I'd soon be a wreck Deprived of your love All music would cease Melodies will not comfort Nor offer release All sound except anguish My ears will not hear Deprived of your love I'd go deaf my dear Derived of your love Wine is not sweet The sour bite of vinegar When my tongue it meets My pallet forgets The taste of your lips Deprived of your love Bitterness in each sip Deprived of your love This tender skin you adore Would harden to touch And I'd feel it no more The soft warmth of you Gone from my numb hands Deprived of your love never feel warm again Deprived of your love Wild flowers would fade The sweet scent of cedar That upon you pervades Forever I would seek it That fragrance of us I'll Lose all good sense If Deprived of your love

Crystal, Congratulations on your success with this immaculate rhyme form piece. A genuinely sincere testimony to the paramount importance of love in our lives and the catastrophic consequences of its failure or absence. Superb imagery and word choice too. I appreciate your flattering review of my entry for this contest and the lovely things you said Howard

The sour bite of vinegar When my tongue it meets… Wild flowers would fade The sweet scent of cedar That upon you pervades…well said!
