awesome sundays & writing love poems...

So yesterday was Sunday!  We all know how much I love Sundays.  Last Sunday the ladies decided it would be fun to start writing poems and sharing them at our blissful Sunday tea meetings.  This was a good, less intimidating and inexpensive alternative to taking a creative writing class, as I had planned to do during my college-less season.  At first, I was a little scared to share my poem since Linds and Libby seem to be seasoned writers who wrote awesome poems, and I, simply am not.  Our first assignment was an "address" poem.  After figuring out what that meant, I came up with the poem found at the end of this post.  I think this is going to be a fun little experiment in writing.  Today is valentine's day so I will dedicate this poem to my valentine and lover.   

does anyone else find cupids creepy?

mourning glory

i’ve forgotten how it feels

the warmth of your embrace

the sensation of your breath

forming goose bumps on my skin

i’ve forgotten how it feels

to walk peacefully and freely

swinging my arms and dancing

to the sweet music you once played

just for me

i dream of you at night

walking, talking, biking

feet in the sand

your warmth fills me to the core

while lying beneath you

beads of sweat forming on my skin

we walk barefoot

and eat ice cream

jacketless

a slightly less pale complexion is revealed

i awaken to a cold

and bitter reality

nostalgically thinking of days gone by

tears fill my eyes

as i bury myself beneath the covers

i wonder... 
will 
this
ever 
end

and i ask you once again...

when will you return?
