Though I may no longer feel your touch
It’s imprint
Is ever lasting
The scent of your skin
Permeates my senses
Where Nothing truly
shall Compare
Everything fails to reach
The zenith
That was loving you
Thus Having known such heights
Suffices the longing
That is In my soul
And the penance of forever
Justifiably I shall serve
Dare you ask
How to describe love
Like asking about the taste of water
Or the scent of a thousand rose beds
It can only be experienced
With all its suffering
Torment
It’s end
And zeal
Do not ask me of its meaning
I only
Want to know more
Let a thousand past lovers
Point me to you beloved
Bring me fulfillment
With your whispering touch
Having thought I had known
The sweetness of caress
Oh let me smile
In wonder now
with each of your affections
Upon my soul
Excerpt from my latest and soon to be released poetry book, “Redeemed (A Collection of Poems)”. #thelover #newpoem
I have planted you
In every place I’ve gone
In hopes you blossom
Be it in another’s earth
To have held you close
A memory for lifetimes to come
Fill up every void
Defining love and loss
Birth and death
Blurring lines in its disobedience
Lawless in action
Wanton spirit to explain
How we did hold the sun and moon
When our embrace created breath
I still inhale you
Envious the rose became
Interchangeable
All the same
Buried you in the air I breathe
This is how I’ve set you apart
Forever
Do not think of me keenly
I do promise thee
That I will fail you
And leave tears where Love reigned
This admiration you feel
Is merely illusion
Only the Heavenly Father
Deserves this praise
I am just a man
Try as might
To forget this reality
I am fallen
But loved by his creator
I can only ask forgiveness of thee
For my foolish ways
Words and actions
I pray you know
This love in my heart
That grows with his every word
Because it is there
That you will know me
Truly
Today I salute you Pop, for your sacrifice as you served in The Korean War as an infantry man for the US Army! May you be resting well in the glory of the almighty! #boricua #koreanveteran #guanicapuertorico #veteransday
