How Long Has It Been
How Long Has It Been
How long
has it been
since you allowed
for yourself
the treasuring
pleasure
of simply
just
being held?
How long
has it been
since your last measure
of just simply
feeling supported
by hands
that can hold
from within?
How long
has it been
since the shadow
that rests
on your pillow
has whispered
a willow
of sweat lodging
bare lifting dreams?
How long
has it been
since
true to your frame
a peace
of mind light
lit your seams?

It’s puzzling to me that such tight and edgy poetry gets so many reads and so few comments. I admire your work. Ty.

Thank you for such a supportive comment.
Sometimes things go unsaid. And, sometimes, I probably say too much.
