{Come} October

I can still feel yesterday coursing through me with every breath;
{lips to forehead as my breasts rose and fell against your neck,
my heart beating as yours slowed, fingertips tracing a crew cut head,
minutes forgetting the hour as you slept}; in love, and missing you.

    I adore the simplicity of this. You have written a very powerful piece in so few words. Best of luck in the contest!

    Ohhh very interesting. I think that this is so classy... so elegantly written. However I do believe it could benefit by being a little longer but overall this was an amazing piece. Well done.

      That's actually really well observed (the briefness), as this is actually an abbreviated version of another of my poems "November". Over time I'll probably end up developing this a litter more separately though.

      Thanks for the honest observation,

    Nice write, I take it from the title, that it's been a month since he went. But you have grasped the last moments of togetherness. Surprising what being apart from your loved one can make you write.

    Very nice poem

    All the best
