Array ( [sid] => 144725 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Sleep [time] => 2008-08-26 00:15:59 [hometext] => Troubled love between my wife and I. I hope to regain her love. Hopefully she will see just how much she means to me. A hard thing to do when you live on two different continents. [bodytext] => In the folds of darkness, I hear her breathe
My want, my desire, my plea, I sheathe
Her touch, her love, I so entreat
As I wait for the blessed blindness of sleep
I smell her hair and feel her warmth
My cacoethes flood as a horrendous storm
To once have and hold something so dear
Till now such beauty held austere
So close, so warm, so fragrant, so sheer
Yet leagues distant, still brings a tear
Hers is the grace, I once held as my own
Now in the darkness, cold and alone
Trembling, reaching, calling her name
Silence answers, my mantle of shame
Complete and unspoiled was her love, her hold
My rout is grand, my love, and my betrothed
Does she think of me, as I with her
Someday perhaps she may confer

This is so sweetly sad. I'm sure she must know how you feel, I hope you will be reunited both physically and emotionally soon. Well done.

Brilliant write.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
