Upon laying eyes on your nakedness It comes to mind the feeling of insecurity Let alone having head in the clouds Every moment I reckon to be with you To be the finest living soul Whom you could ever depend on But I’ve heard how much you love her That even her death does not stop you From being devoted and amorous to her It cuts me deep all the more so Should I beg to get your attention? All hail the craziness but that won’t stop me After all this time, I remain firm Even if I know you’re six feet under I keep up on loving you… 10.12.17 Second place "Deep and Dark II" by Laura Loo Third Place "Poems that Paint a Picture 4" by Silent One
