Splashing in the puddles of love

a compilation poem -- I think it passes the no pink bar test ...

I wake with you on my mind
the rational side of me
that knows the now
that cannot be
still wants
you
in my bed
not just
in my head.
there are a million reasons
things are perfect
just as they are
but I still
can't help
wishing
on that
star.

in the heart of you
there is a question
burning
what makes your love stay?

when you leave me
soaked in
a puddle
stray tears of pure
emotion

I know why you do

after a perfect night
rolled into morning
encore finish
replay in my mind

louder
I hear you

warmer
I feel you

sink into me

when you leave me
in a puddle

I know why you do

but sometimes,
I wish
you would stay

the puddle just not enough to hold him there...an ocean might help....tears of departing are always the most painful raindrops from the eyes...

really like all three...but especially fond of the last one.

Am glad I was the first to get to this and leave something behind,? Hell yeah. This is nothing short of a little masterpiece if you ask me..............N

So glad to see you, and I just put this one up, so thank you very much. I am very proud of the last few I have done. Still polishing up the blasted sonnet -- it should be technically correct this afternoon. My two latest stories and my feature if you have the time -- I would much appreciate your thoughts -- so good to see you. Made my morning. Truly.
