Aftertaste by Maria Terezia FerenczThe roughest touch is not enough
unless it is my skin
a world without
so worthless now
unless you are within
all feelings gone
not felt forlorn
you find that you are numb
a glowing moon or brightest sun
casts no glow
to see
when every color has a hue
in your eyes of me
when you hear my name
in music
although it's never sung
then my love
my work is done
you are left
with my aftertaste
on your tongue 09/06/2006
Author's Note: Can you still taste me??? You always will....

Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 09/07/06 at 01:25 AM Great poem - strong flow, lustiness if one wants to interpret that way, or a mutual need one for the other. |
