I’m keeping the celebrations up, of my two years here on WordPress. Here’s another one of my earliest poems, which was originally written seven years ago, but first posted on my blog, June 8th 2017.
Haven’t Seen You For A While
Woke up dreaming of your petite smile.
And pondering, I haven’t seen you for a while.
That generous grin, making you so cute.
So pleasing, and so alluring, seems to suit.
Dreaming of your grace and gorgeous style.
And thinking, I haven’t seen you for a while.
The glow on your face, reminiscing sweet things.
A silky smooth body, with all it’s offerings.
Dreaming of your thighs, where the harp sings.
And sensing, I haven’t seen you for a while.
The sweat of our loving, a distant past.
‘Twas pure lust, sharing to the last.
Dreaming of your love, and more tender scenes.
And realising, I haven’t seen you for a while.
Please take the time to listen to Damien Rice, sing and play live, this amazing version of his song “I Remember”

You’ve written this so much grace, Ivor. The hint of sensuality…done so tastefully. I love the harp line. And the repetition of the title phrase adds so much flavour and packs a punch to your poem. Beautiful!

I really like the repeating line, “I haven’t seen you for a while.” that has been slightly altered each time. A softening of not wanting to say goodbye.
You write from the heart Ivor.

Sensual and endearing poem, Ivor. I’ve often wondered if those who have lost a partner or spouse have missed the physical intimacy shared. I also love the playfulness of your words. 💋
