defenses disappear

I am fading…
(falling into free-form thought)
and all I want
is cool water on my skin

(to let it all in -
- all I’ve pushed away)

To find another way
to be.

 

 

I want him
pressed against me.
soft, clean sheets
on touch-me-tender skin
(moist lips at my neck)

I am a wreck…

 

 

I want to embrace all that is Good…

 

 

I want him to hold me
the way he told me…
the way he told me
he always would.

hey kara. i really like "touch-me-tender skin".

the really amazing write here is how you imply the deep pain of losing something because you have pushed it (him) away. you do it well. the ritual of washing and cleansing in the first stanza sets this up nicely.

God Kara sometimes I feel I repeat myself but stunning work... with simple words you bring out such emotions in your work.

We women are not so easy to please, it is amazing what a tender embrace can cure. I relate to your words and feel the sadness and need for touch. Lovely write, truly wonderful-Leah

This is excellent writing Karabella...even I kinda want him to hold me now...

Yearning is a killer. This nostalgia that love brings is so overpowering. Sometimes words are the only therapy. You project wonderful sentiments so beautifully in your own words.

Excellent!

Love,
