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
