Carole Duet Poet Couplet

He Touched Me

He kissed me and I thought of you
                                            and wished you would too.

                                      He looked at me and I saw your eyes
                                             and now my heart cries.
.
                                     He held me the way you don't
                                             and I wondered why you won't.

                                     He said nice things
                                             but my heart wouldn’t sing.

                                     And when he laughed I heard my own laugh follow,
                                             yet my mirth was cold and hollow.

                                     And when he touched me I wished it was you
                                             making me want to touch you too.
                                               
                                     All this time wasted with another,
                                             not worth the bother,
                                             not worth the pain,
                                     I'd rather be with you again.

Richard Lamoureux April 25, 2017 at 7:37 PM A very emotional and real write. Why do we humans pine over someone who chooses not to be with us. We want the forbidden or what can't be ours. Well expressed! Carole Duet April 25, 2017 at 10:46 PM Richard, I think it's a learning experience that we must go through before we find that ONE who loves and appreciates us and makes us so happy that we realize that those previous failures were worth it just to know how lucky we are NOT to have ended up with one of them. lol And, it's just in our DNA. I think it's part of that survival thing which yearns for more improvement, adventure and change. If we didn't want what we seemingly can't have, we might never have gone to the moon! :)

James Marshall Goff January 7, 2017 at 7:12 AM Hi Carole...many places...many spaces...one's desire certainly can make one reflect...good work, jim Carole Duet January 7, 2017 at 5:33 PM Thanks Jim.

White Wolf January 5, 2017 at 10:17 PM Wonderful, Carole! I'm so glad you kept these older poems. Carole Duet January 6, 2017 at 12:21 AM Budgie!!! Wow! You fooled me. lol It's funny 'cause I thought of you when I saw the name "wolf". White Wolf January 6, 2017 at 12:02 AM Call me Budgie /|\ Haja Carole Duet January 5, 2017 at 11:42 PM Thank you so much, Wolf. And, yes, I've kept almost all of them...and I'm glad too. Thanks for reading.

Andrea Dietrich January 4, 2017 at 3:26 PM I really love this, Carol. It's AWESOME. I was wanting to see an ing on the word follow, to rhyme with sing above it! Anyway, this is a delight!! Carole Duet January 5, 2017 at 11:40 PM Well, Andrea, thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it. However, "sing rhymes with "thing(s)" and "follow" rhymes with "hollow". But, I appreciate your suggestion anyway. :) Carole Duet

Katheryn Moore December 27, 2016 at 11:57 PM This is amazing. It just screams pain (which it a good thing) and emotion. The feeling of absence tears you apart, I can feel it. Carole Duet December 29, 2016 at 9:16 PM Yes, it does and thanks Katheryn. Carole Duet
