Surreptitious touches;
Ostentatious gifts of adoration,
Ultimately void empty spaces.
Longing for missing embraces,
Masterfully masking fake smiles -
Abstract thoughts running amok,
Testing lonely hours ...
Eventual peace reigns when we are together.

My love, My pet, My soulmate.
The lonely hours are there so that we truly feel the presence when W/we are together.
Even when apart and lonely, My thoughts turn always to you.
Now and forever,
Your Loving Master

Boy if that doesn't hit home with a thump.

Wonderful as always. Good luck

Beautiful write, Chantell. Like the acrostic form. I liked the ending the best. I think it describes well the way two people who love each other feel when they are finally together. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Awesome use of words, I really enjoy when uncommon words are used in poetry it gives it a feel that commonly used words seem to lack. There's no lack of imagination here though, great job and good luck in the contest.
