Palpable

I press my ear against my pillow,

Listening to my heart

With each rhythmic beat,

I can’t help but wonder,

Does your heart beat with mine?

 

Every breath you take,

Seems to breathe life into my soul

And sometimes,

It feels as if my fingers are inches from yours

 

When you laugh I feel flushed,

As if your smiling eyes penetrate me

And when we whisper to one another,

I can almost feel your breath on my neck

 

Now I lay here,

Dreaming of you in my wakefulness,

Feeling as though,

If I were to roll over,

You will be there next to me,

Dreaming of me too

I FEEL YOU. (: The emotion is there, though the expressions used could also pass as a story. It's like a prose of sorts. Great job. [: Thanks for sharing.

Yes indeed I agree with Aries... You capture that wanting need to be with another very nicely. It is a good feeling isn't it when someone has this kind of affect on you? This poem made me smile inside and out. Well done.

I couldn't have written the feeling better myself. Sometimes it seems as though the distance is negligible, with how you make me feel. And when you write poems like this, I get jealous, because I wish I could write happy poems, too... xD I tend to use poetry as a venting outlet, and I'm not particularly gifted at expressing my happiness in poetry, because that's what this smile is for. I love your poetry, Kate. I'm also a bit biased ;D
