Each And Every Day

each and every day

with your quotidian heart in my fumbling hands

i made love to you from afar

breathing your meridian sighs

running barefoot through silken skin and obsidian hair

it doesn't seem just or fair

i could never quite find the right words whenever you walked by

heaven wouldn't tell me what to say

each and every day

An unfinished need, one that still lives deep inside you.. and as written, stunningly beautiful although sad. Pete, you write with your heart.

Plus, you accompany your words with my favourite song. Many thanks for sharing so much, sir.

sometimes i look back and ponder what-ifs and if-onlys. thanks for sharing kind thoughts. a great song high up on my lengthy, favorites list.

Oh to make love to someone within you mind because you couldn’t find the words to say to the person. This is a sentiment that many have known in their lives

[Pete]

i think you'd be right about that. thanks pb.

[Pete]

[Poetic Beauty]

I guess… lol

one time quite a while back, i used to go on a discussion web site and this woman came onto me and wanted me to meet with her. i didn't do it, thought it could be dangerous and weird.

It depends on the situation. I’ve had a long time friend online. Non-romantic in nature. I’m guessing around 15 years or so. If he ever wanted to meet in person I would. We had a short spell of playing around online but we have remained friend best friend actually.

How can I tell you by Cat Stevens. Made me think of it. Equally gorgeous.

[Pete]

Beautiful work Pete. You paint a lovely picture.

This poem is shedding a sense of unrequited love and longing for someone who is out of reach.

I liked the way you expressed everything.,
The use of sensory imagery such as "breathing your meridian sighs" and "running barefoot through silken skin and obsidian hair" adds depth to the poem.
