Escape


sensual touches
sate a need that aids depressed
hearts seeking passion
patches to cover twin aches
worn as scars from rejection

escape needs fulfilled
covers hold two stories told ~
desperate duet

It is always good to revise your own poems. When I don't I'll find mistakes. Hugs.

Good, I'm not the only one. Rarely do I leave one as is when originally posted, can't help but tweak and repeat! So good to see you, Victor. Kyle is doing well, thank you for asking and thank God that it is so. Love ... CayCay

Should have been higher. Congrats, Caycay. Now I am feeling awful and don't even know what to enter in the marathons

This is raw and deeply human—beautifully capturing how intimacy can both soothe and expose our hidden pain. The imagery is tender and haunting. Such powerful writing.

Dear CayCay, this poem is a beautiful expression of vulnerability and longing. The way you've woven together words to convey the complexities of human emotions is truly captivating. The phrase 'desperate duet' resonates deeply, highlighting the intense yearning for connection and understanding. Your writing has a way of touching the heart, and I appreciate the raw honesty you've shared through your words. Best, Anne

I revised a lot of this, pressed 'update post' and there your complimentary comments were. So, I'm not sure exactly which version you commented on, but I didn't totally care for my 1st post and tweaked, tweaked and repeated. Either way, either version, you are beyond sweet to me. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
