IF ONLY YOU KNEW

Your sultry sensual look I still embrace
As I think of those mesmerizing violet eyes,
My heart then quickens and starts to race,
If only you knew what you still do to me.

Whose fault was it that sad sad night,
When you spoke those unjust words,
Was it meant for me to run away in fright,
If you only knew, how much I still love you.

Maybe it was me, or perhaps it was you began 
An argument that was bitter, that left me mad,
But  know that when you ran away, I also ran,
If you only knew that I could never forget you.

You dazzled me, with your graceful, swan like neck,
Frolicked with your cleavage, your creamy breasts,
Rising and falling, knowing I desired, needed you,
If only you knew that you were the soul of my heart.

I ran after you to catch you, but I was too late,
The rain was pouring you tripped, hit your head,
I picked up your lifeless body, it was your fate,
If only you knew your death was the end of me.

Written for Silent One's contest

So sad that you couldn't enter your poem. After so much of love being exchanged between the man and wife, the relationship got strained after a noisy squabble. The efforts to reconstruct the broken relationship sadly ended in an accident and untimely death. You have written the poem in such a way that I feel so sorry over the sad demise. A moving tale of love and loss, dear Jenny!

Jennifer, You have a neat style that allows us to follow the plot easily and enjoyably. The fate of the deceased is interesting. After, the living member in love is devastated. The "end of me" creates thought about attachments. We who form attachments easily are often hurt in ways that sit in our minds forever. It's odd what the brain does when filing these feelings.

A moving contemplation on love, sorrow, and remorse, Dear Jennifer, conveys the speaker's profound emotional anguish as he or she tries to make sense of a loved one's death and the terrible circumstances surrounding it. An emotionally intense and riveting work, made all the more so by the well-structured rhyme and striking imagery.

I am so sorry you missed out with you wonderful poem my friend.. This is a poignant reflection on love, regret, and mourning. It captures the deep emotional turmoil of the speaker, who is haunted by memories of a lost loved one and the tragic circumstances of their death. The structured rhyme and vivid imagery enhance the emotional depth, making it a compelling and heart-wrenching piece.
