Poetry
I miss you
By michelle
21 April 2008

For James.




I press my left hand against my heart
To remind me of the pain
The pain of missing you

I am close to tears
Because I long to feel you again

It has been thirteen days
But it feels like eternity

I am not alone
But I am lonely

I long for your kiss
And the warmth of your body next to mine
I want to feel your energy
When you thrust into me

The days move too slowly
Til we meet again
I shall bear the pain
Because the distance has made me realise
That you are where I want to be

Thrust

I think this otherwise gently sad and romantic poem is spoiled by the line 'When you thrust into me'. 
 
I'm not a prude by any means and for me there's nothing wrong with sex in poetry. 
 
It's just that it doesn't seem to fit the tone here. 
 
Sorry! Cheers! John

I take Katanga's point but that verse is full of energy and I dont think that the sentiment is entirely inappropriate. As K says Perhaps a more gentle word expressing the physical action is needed - to convey the love behind the sentiment. The aching comes across well.
