I trace my fingers <br />over your body’s cold contours <br />embossed on the vacant space of <br />wrinkled white sheets <br />where you had slept, last night! <br /> <br />I close my eyes, <br />and dream of <br />the jasmine-scented erotic dreams <br />where my butterfly-kisses flutter <br />caressing you from head-to-toe <br />as you try to muffle <br />your frenzied screams of pleasure! <br /> <br />Half asleep, <br />I roll and turn to the other side of bed, <br />touching the smudged marks <br />of your ruby-red lipstick <br />blushing in the morning hues of dawn, <br />after you are gone! <br /> <br />In a state of drowsiness, <br />I toy with the broken strands <br />that you have left behind <br />from your loosely knotted hair <br />lie on the covers beside me, limping <br />like couple of black placid threads! <br /> <br />I wake up from the <br />depths of my erotic slumber <br />and feel the vacuum inside me. <br />Lonely lips long for your crimson kisses and <br />amorous arms ache for your enchanting embrace! <br /> <br />I cry your name aloud - <br />but you fade into <br />mist of the distant past! <br />Emotions engulf me and hurt hugs me, <br />pain peeps out and solitude seeps in, <br />echoes of emptiness stab my spirit! <br />Look – suggestive <br />there is a heart-shaped scar <br />in my soul… <br /> <br />Copyright 2008 © Bharat Trivedi<br /><br />Bharat Trivedi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/missing-you-137/
