Untitled
December 27, 2011
As I sit here, against the wall,
I feel the cool stone on my back,
I feel your fingertips on my skin, again.
I close my eyes
The memory traces an outline in the sky
But do you remember?
Can you feel the wind blow through you?
Or the water glide across your body?
Your hand in mine, my head on your shoulder.
Me and you, just us two,
we were here.
Our place.
As the sun dims, I find myself writing this in silence
For now, its just a memory that lingers still.

Dearie , you've got tons of potential in the art of poetry writing. I think there are some things you need to learn first , but this was a sweet and nostalgic poem that brings emotion to the reader. Good job. I look forward to more from you. *****

I love it. You capture the past inside the present in a way that I myself can not. This is amazing and I wish to learn to do that.
