too long

by Richard Trotter

Days are too long without you
when sudden addiction succeeds
in every featureless hour,
a sudden jerk, restless and tangled.

Every sensation stirs the scene
of you that nestles in me
cats whiskers against my hand
like a memory of your passing touch.

Today the world is ageless
I want you or dreamtimesÂ’ answer
to a naive desperate network
that your radiance defines

Whoa. Nailed the feelings. My favourite line? when sudden addiction succeeds in every featureless hour

"Every sensation stirs the scene ~ cats whiskers against my hand" Beautiful, thank you...
