What I’m missing…
7.22.04

I miss
The warmth
Of another’s body
Leaning against mine.

I miss
The weight
Of another’s arm
Wrapped around
My abdomen at night.

I miss
The wetness
Of goofy kisses
Placed randomly
Across my body.

I miss
The radiance
Of spontaneous smiles
Graced upon
Lovers lips.

I miss it all.

Poignant. We've all lost (at least) someone dear for whom we've held romantic attachments- aspirations- futures, perhaps. I like how this piece heavily uses the alliterative 's' to evoke sensuality in a nearly animalistic primacy. I like how in the first three stanzas you structure the lines visually so that the audience experiences a sense of lying down with your [lost] lover, taking up your shape and your pleasure. Likewise, how the fourth stanza eclipses yet summons the closing line is deeply pleasurable.

I almost feel bad trying to nitpick grammatical convention, because it's a singly cozy piece - but I do think you want to use a possessive in the penultimate line.
:iconcordeliaxshotxhim:
I know I'm a poet, but I write free verse. So what, in gods name, is a penultimate line. :)
:iconbreathheld:
Second to last line. :)
