Things   left unsaid

 

A soft smile and a close hug.
                                           wait…
eyes  glisten  and  thoughts  touch
around a  knotted   quake.
hands  that  make  my  heart soft
as imagined soft  hand  strokes  lumps  hard
All wrapped  about  a  congested thought
that  blisters   up the  blood
and then fires  the  brain

Can things ever be the  same?

Thoughts  of
Slow caresses
soft skin moist parted lips
Her  beauty  her friendship  my  pain
The   quiver  in the  cage.

Then  we part 
The  embrace  is  over and we  depart
Her  one  way  and I  another 

 
                                    with  things just  left  unsaid.

I liked the line 'quiver in the cage' : the rest was very tender too!

its a first   draft  so I  might   do some  work on it. The foregrounding  is a  bit weak  though the  line  spacing   works  for  me  when considering the flow of the  text.

Alphadog, this is very physical without being crude. I like it.

the   idea   was less  about sex itself. Ive  been  studying  space  in poety  and how this  links  to inferrence. the  muse  really  is based  about  a feeling of having a  "friend with  benefits"  and how   I actually felt about it.  The spaces  are  related   to pauses  within the  flow  of the  text and this  adds to the  forgrounding  of the notion  of the  poem  which  is deviation   from expectancy.  (she  is not interested opposed to the notion  that  he/or she  is, the  text  is ambiguous  about  the  gender  of the  author. Also a deliberate  act. the  caged  relates to  birds.  (and this  also  relates  to the  feminine  personea  of the  text. )
