Top notch writing the fear of all women placed in poetry how well we relate to this. Men shy away from commitment and so we are forced to lock all our ultimate love away and thus they cheat on themselves

Comment from Jean Lutz
Is companionship not just another facet of love? Yet blessed are the companions that can keep romance alive even when the outer beauty is gone.

I think Ms. Jean, that I have never found my soul mate, thus the passion and romance in my words reflect that need :(.
I as one reviewer has told me, am "in love with love".
Thank you so very much for another splendid review :)
Always,
Missy
We are practically neighbors, Ms. Jean

Ironically, "In love with love" was the caption underneath my picture in my senior yearbook. Another is I've spent most of my life single, fiercely independent. I was married 15 years, had three wonderful sons, then divorced. Maybe I came to realize most human love is mere image. Not bitter by any means. I've found fulfillment through faith, family and fun. Where are you from?

Mobile, Alabama but now live south of there in Bayou La Batre. :)

I was raised in sw Tennessee, near where Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee come together. Now I think I am planted in se Louisiana.

This is such a sad poem about the receding passion and the difficulty to talk about it (which would create closeness). I can relate to this piece so deeply. Your words are simple and well chosen! Thank you for sharing!

Hello,
I enjoyed this free verse very much. I evokes emotion as good poetry should. I like how you ended with the wondering. It truly touches the heart. Very well done.

Fear not my dear this is a poem, Free thoughts add up to free verse..When using free verse, or as I call free style, you can expand your thoughts One is not put in a box of it having to rhyme..Great job on a subject that I do believe all can relate to..

A love poem
My Fear

Beautiful love poem, very romantic and passionate. I had that kind of love once in my life, it was passionate and fun and I thought it would never end, but it did. I think all women want what you want. Good job!

Thanks GBR...I think your right. Most of what I write in poetry is from my deepest wishes, this, is my life here in these words. I think some would have us believe that when we reach a certain age, passion should be a thing of the past. I hate that idea!!! LOL.
Thanks again, for the encouraging review hon. :)
Always,
Missy

I like your poem whether it follows a Poetry type or not. It reads like it came from the heart so you did a good job reveling that. It flows and I like the way minimal punctuation was used. You did a good job. This will strike a chord in many others hearts.

Comment from mfowler
For a moment I thought you were talking to me. Opening line. LOL.
There's a good circularity in this piece, as you express desire for the long kiss regularly, muse over hurt that may emerge from exposing feelings, and then settle finally for the familiar, a not so long kiss goodnight.
I like that structure. It reflects true human emotion while satisfying a reader's feel for a poem with a purpose. Your poem flows sweetly and is imbued with the emotions of love. A sweet, intimate poem.
Suggest
Question mark at end of line one.
Change 'reached' to reach

Comment from Jumbo J
Oh Yes Missy.. This is a poem... a beautiful free verse from the heart and of the heart.
How can someone not want love in-cased in romance where reciprocation is paramount... yes, love can't hide, nor should it... fear should never lock ones true feelings away... but in saying that, I guess I just got caught up in the emotions of your words and not focusing on the actual poem... so, that in itself shows of the quality of the write.
A beautiful presentation... a wonderful visual... all over, a real pleasure to read.
With our thoughts we create,
a barrier of withholding,
