I Miss Love

I miss deep kisses wet with longing.
I miss hands that know
Where to touch to quicken my pulse
And strong arms around me.
I miss the needs of a man I care about,
I miss feeding his naked hunger.
I miss slow dancing in each others' arms.
But most of all I miss love.

I miss soft sweetnesses whispered in my ear.
I miss the passionate assault,
The breathless heaving.
I miss the spasm of ecstasy,
His brimming into mine.
I miss spilling over with wetness,
Spilling over with joy.
But most of all, I miss love.

Passion live on when eagerness is set aside. Become the active dreamer and love will come your way and be found in your arms. I truly love the forthright and honest joy within this poem. A poet friend/ RH Peat

Better to at least have known and be able to know that we miss it, than to remain unaware of what we might have been missing all along.

Sensuality with a touch of the erotic and Lillian you have captured what once experienced we all know the miss. of at some time.... a well written and tender verse.

This is a wonderfully expressed poem, Lillian, one that is both very poignant and melancholy, yet still contains a glimmer of hope for the future! Carl.
