Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

My Sentiment On Love

Lying in my bed 
with you on my mind 
you are miles away 
but the memories brings you so close 
I sometimes feel your body next to mine 

If you could touch me
you would feel 
my heart racing 
with thoughts of you
they make the lonely nights more tolerable 

your voice
although only over the phone 
still weaken my knees 

I just want you to know 
with this pen and paper 
that, “I will love you forever”…

Carolyn Devonshire November 5, 2010 at 7:31 AM It has to be true love if your knees weaken when you just hear his voice on the phone, Wilma. Sometimes the anticipation of the "touch" is more exciting than the event itself. A beautiful poem that would make a great entry for Audrey's contest if you haven't already entered one. Love, Carolyn
