I Imagine You

I imagine you softly
  Like a sound on the air
The touch of your hand
  The smell of your hair...

I imagine your voice
  Gentle with the night
I hear in it the courage
  The laughter and the light...

I imagine your eyes
  all the love they hold
I see in them redemption
  the pain you never told...

I imagine your body
  The heat from your skin
I imagine your embrace
  I imagine it again...

I imagine you
  The way you imagine me,
I imagined you today
  Imagining me...

Truly made me smile when I got to the last stanza, Matt !! Wonderful writing and a very well-deserved selection to be a feature this week at the Soup. Congratulations!

This is one of your better poems in my opinion. The first stanza helps lead into the body of the poem with a generalization, and your imagery is excellent, but the last stanza's third and fourth lines don't seem right. They almost seem to repeat the first part of the stanza.
