Tall, lithe and a sailing man
distinguished, respectful and kind
I fervently wish you were mine.
Your touch so gentle upon my skin,
your lips spread love into my soul,
Wishing I was your end goal.
Your visits though short they are,
are so bittersweet this is true,
I wait so long wanting to see you.
Your hug and your loving smile,
wash away the harrowing emptiness,
ashamed of my previous pettiness.
When you leave after only one day,
I’m sad when your love is transferred
knowing you are returning to her.
This one makes me uneasy in a good way like I have questions and I want the answers but I can’t force you to answe them.
Thank you so much DaybreakStations! The highest compliment is (to me) when the reader wants more! 😊
Wow, you build the temporariness of this relationship so well, the longing pure, the regret palpable, the reason so more than sad. Love the line ashamed of my previous pettiness. Well done!
Thank you so very much jrturek! ☺️
Makes me think of how it’s always us, our pettiness when he, “perfect” though he seems, is double dealing.
Exactly so! The most kind, the most thoughtful, the most loving … Take on the banes and blames of the world! 🙏
This makes me think of the Taylor Swift song August. I love Taylor Swift…so I want you to know I love this poem
Thank you sacarroll1691! I will have to go on line and listen to it! ☺️
