STILL HERE?

Contributed by robert_edgar_burns on Friday, 28th October 2011 @ 10:25:03 PM in AEST
Topic: fantasy

I picked up the cigarette
From the ashtray where it lay.
And remembered it between your lips,
Just the other day.

I felt much closer to you
When I placed it between mine.
Though I don’t smoke to me I felt
Your lipstick tastes like wine.

A glass sat on my counter
From which you’d taken sips.
I closed my eyes and fantasized
As I kissed prints left by your lips.

I found the towel you wrapped in
As you waded in my pool.
I hugged it tightly round me
As my mind was full of you.

I find myself conversing,
Praising everything you do.
And listening with my eyes closed
To the beauty that is you!

I placed my arms around the chair
That you sat in last my dear.
I knelt there for the longest time
To sniff your essence there.

My lungs enlarged with perfume,
And my mind saw you oh so clear.
There is no doubt when I’m awake
That you always are “Still Here!”

It has potential. Try looking at it from the readers perspective. Some of it runs together too much.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
