Poem: My lost love

Restless in bed and sleepless through the night

I longed for my lover,

I wanted him desperately, his absence was painful,

I was missing the way his arms go round my body

The scent of his body, the rise & fall of chest as he lies beside me,

I couldn’t take it anymore,

So I got up, went out and roved the city,

Hunting the street and down the alley

I wanted my lover in the worst ways

I looked high and low but I couldn’t find him

The night watchman found me as they patrolled the dark city

“Have you seen my dear lost love?” I asked

No sooner have I left them, I found him

I have found my dear lost love!

My heart raced with emotions.

Feeling elated, ecstatic and extremely overjoyed

I threw my arms around him and held him tight,

He held me tight,

I have missed him madly,

I wouldn’t let him go,

I have to take him home

Home to a warm house, a warm dinner and a warm bed.
