Lovesick

by Anthony M   Sep 15, 2010


Though time and distance separate
her energy invades my every sense,
intoxicated, enveloped, consumed
lust and desire impossible to satiate.

Captured images mesmerize the soul
each waking moment finds my heart
aching, longing, pining for my lady
long absences exacting their toll.

Even sleep brings little respite
dreams become vividly lucid
illusion of her touch pacifies
'till she leaves upon the daylight.

Resigning myself to the hands of fate
I've become a lonely prisoner of time
soon her loving smile will fill my eyes
upon that day I shall dutifully wait.

    What a great job. You have penned a great poem here. Your feelings for this person come across so clearly and distinctly one could almost feel how much you care and love this person. The imagery was quit nice to begin with as each line gave new meaning and depth to the passage.

    "Though time and distance separate
    her energy invades my every sense,
    intoxicated, enveloped, consumed
    lust and desire impossible to satiate."

    This was probably my favorite line in the entire poem as first off it was the introduction which you basically summed the entire poem up in these first four lines. The second thing I like is the third line how you described how she makes you feel which just painted emotions all over. Wonderful job. Good job and keep writing.
