Without Knowing Why, I Cry

I feel you coming closer As you creep into my dreams, and I close my eyes and drift away. Tortured by my own imagination Abused by my own thoughts … My breathing is laboured and Without knowing why, I cry…. A new day, a new dawn Brings with it a hope of calm. As the water cascades over my body Sensual thoughts race into my mind I see how we fit together How we ride the waves of pleasure, I experience the explosion Floating, falling, drifting, coming, Without knowing why, I cry …. I realise once again That my life will never be the same Celibacy forced on me And only in my dreams will I ever feel a tender touch Fulfilling my every need. Without knowing why, I cry …. This poem is written in Bop format which is not given in the list to choose from

Good - there is no need, for celibacy to be forced upon you. You are a special person and deserve respect and what you wish for. Regards, Terry Reeves

This is a deep and sad write.. very emotive.. I have never heard of a bop format, but I think you could also use free verse...

I really like this Bop - it is quite challenging. Three stanzas of 6, 8 and 6 lines each with a refrain. And yes - it is sad... Im glad you could feel the emotion.
