Masochism of the Mind

These hands I hold-
to see,
but never touch.

This goddess before me-
there,
but never mine.

That hellfire in me-
burning,
aching for touch.

These whisps of memory-
painful,
my Masochistic Moments.

This old thrumming song-
beating,
recalling old emotion.

That single golden hair-
lying,
fragrancing my pillow.

These thoughts of mine-
disheartening,
shouldn't belong here.

This image of you-
beautiful,
keeping fantasy alive.

That woman I loved-
gone,
I'm no better.

    Nice! Quite expressive of someone holding on to their memories of someone. Mix this in with Led Zepplin's "Fool in the rain" and you get a bomb!

    The impression that I get from reading this is that of someone that has been holding on to their memories. The memories have become this person's reality, or virtual reality and when the person realizes that it is really painful. Great Job! Keep It Up!

    really deep and sensual lots of love and beauty full of honesty and grace, i feel the pain and the wanting of the touch , all the emotion and feelings and the desire to be together again but not really concearned in a way
