days like today
I shift
from moment to moment
each one
an obstacle
that keeps me
from being complete
one step away
from peace
and pure happiness
blessed
by true love
a mate for my soul
but needing
to touch
and share a smile
in your presence
I am content
and my spirit soars

Your Word
pull at the heart and emotions. Brief stanzas capturing the reader, propelling them to stop and reflect. Well Done

I resonated with the first three stanzas. Those words seem so true for me. The 4th and 6th stanza remind me of what I don't have and makes me sad. The 5th stanza expresses well one of my deepest longings.
I love your poetry for I can relate to your words. -
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
In reading your words here I felt I just had to stop a moment and let my inner self feel, just let my heart open and let true feelings in.

This is such a great piece, I commented from the box as I nominated, but almost forgot to leave a proper comment!
There is such a beauty to your words, a hope, and sincere depth of adoration. And then, there is this sadness - a longing building from within heart, that glorious ache for kindred soul to shine anew. Very well penned!

I can feel the absence, loss, loneliness and despair felt as your partner is away and the warmth and comfort brought from their return. Thinking of you and this very common scenario....kindest thoughts and wishes, Anna-Marie.

oh! that is beautiful. I was truly touched. Simple graceful elegance.

Short but sweet lines
It reminds me that touching someone can do more than any words like a smile can to. I like the short lines i waffle a lot so this is great and to the point. Great ending uplifting like the others said i really like the idea of a spirit soaring
