Jean Murray Poet Verse

Touch of a Lover

I still miss the touch of a lover.
Those tips reading me like braille.
Caressing and investigating.
Always arousing without fail.

I still miss the touch of a lover.
It is so cold now in my bed.
I liked to sleep cupped together.
After our clothes were shed.

I still miss the touch of a lover.
One familiar with my desires.
Knowing all the secret places
to set me right on fire.

I still miss the touch of a lover.
It seems he misses me too.
I am so tempted to return.
My body yearns for you.

You always bring me a big smile whenever I see you. I will most likely be making do with the woolly carpet when push comes to shove.

Richard Evans November 6, 2017 at 11:24 AM Good use of anaphora. Framing each verse with the musing is a nice touch. Thanks for sharing.............peace! Jean Murray November 6, 2017 at 11:30 AM Hi Richard. So that's what anaphora means? Good to know.

Jan Allison November 5, 2017 at 5:30 PM I am sure many can relate and miss the physical contact but not the other issues that cause a relationship to fail .Sending you a big hug:-) Jan xx Jean Murray November 5, 2017 at 5:45 PM Hi Jan. I'm sorry I'm not on here so much these days. My muse went AWOL. She's an imp that one. Hope all is well with you and all your care.
