Unrequited

Melting under layers
under waves
of love
swimming in a daze
of pure bliss
memories suspended in time
time standing still
yet replaying again
and again
expressions of happiness
the warmth of a touch
lingering moments slipping
away
reaching out into emptiness
waiting for more
patiently waiting
sensation draining
knowing but not accepting
misty confusion
Painful gasping
watching everything
receding slowly
into the distance

Hi Skat, Thanks so much! I really appreciate what a supportive welcoming community this is! I'm so happy I stumbled upon this site. I have only ever written poems for myself (which I keep hidden and tucked away). I look forward to supportive comments and constructive criticism. I already feel like I've learned a lot with all the resources on this site! ~Jean
