Fingers caressing my skin
Spoke to me as if you were preaching your vows
The way your bones shook with every slide
The odd twitch
Your palm sweeping heat
Lips trailing across my cheek
Screamed at me the promises I knew you could never keep
The gentle hover
The gliding with a hint of wet
Your warm breath fanning across my collar bone
Eyes staring into mine
Felt like I was being held by the safest of arms
The intensity
The deeper meaning that I had yet to explore
You shut them before I could ask
The cold side of the bed
A sick parody of nights when you didn't come home
The way you told me you couldn't
The door slam as you finally left
You didn't let me explore

- Comment from author about the poem: i wrote this when i was thirteen and first trying my hand at poetry. it didn't mean much to younger me, just pretty words and a nice way to display them. it seems though, as i've gotten older, fate thought it would be funny to mirror this poem. it's suddenly become a lot more to me in these recent months and i can't promise it'll mean the same thing for everyone.

WELCOME SUMMER ~ THANKS FOR YOUR FIRST POEM with an elegant structure (and a prophetical twist) but with a bitter~sweet message ! I like you note and your poem / experience will empathise more with some than others ! Those of us who are 18+ will have all experienced the anticipation of consensual love ~ many the unique experience and some of us also the end and the rejection ~ so so painful "The door slam as HE or SHE finally left." You will find this an empathetic site on the subject of LOVE ! As I've grown older (30's) my philosophy has been ~ "Better to have loved and lost ~ than never to have loved at all !" Currently I am in a good stable loving relationship with a Lovely Lady. Hope this comment helps ~ thinking of you ~ Yours BRIAN (UK) Please check my poems ~ Thanks B.
