I Miss Love Poem by Tonya Body Clark

I miss Love,
the intimacy, the touch,
the embrace, sharing space;
conversations, declarations
of love.

public displays of affection, that glorious connection –
better than the most delightful confection!
floating on clouds, unaware of the crowds
that surround us - because there is only us, when we are together.
smiling, just because its wonderful
to be in the presence of one who loves you.

I miss Love,
the hush of silence shared, dreams, as yet undeclared
holding hands, making plans
walks in the park, whispering in the dark
longing gazes, and fiery blazes
of romantic notions.
sweetness wrapped in passion, not always requiring action,
feeling much more than physical attraction.
joyful laughter, when all that matters
is being in the presence of one who loves you.

I miss Love,
hands that crave me, thoughts that gave me
wings to fly, to soar on high.
eyes that adore me, looking deep into the core of me –
understanding my essence, and subsequent acquiescence
to love
knowing me- all of me - and still accepting me.
mornings after, KNOWING that hereafter
I will forever be able to enjoy the presence
of one who loves me.

I miss Love.

It’s time for Love.
