And so I find you again, after so long
How I have missed your touch
The gentle scrape of your caress
I thought you were gone for good
I was unprepared for you to show again
To see your hollowed face
Your voice so low and cracked so sweet
A familiar haven in the cold watches
Whispered promises and threats
Your hand on mine in the dark a relief
Assuring me that blood will follow soon
Oh hatred how I have missed you

DonnaBeckover 9 years agoI did not study creative writing. I wrote my first poem a few months ago, and I am not young. What I am is saying is, I am no expert. I do not know how other people rate poetry.
If it evokes and emotion, if I like the way it sounds, if I relate, if it makes me think - I seem to enjoy it.
That being said, I do not know how to rate poetry, but I gave this one a five.

The gentle scrape of your caress
Causes much duress
The fate of all our hate
brings us to
an end
Creepier when in rhymes
just sayin'
5ed, I like the structure, some of the words
greenmountaineerover 10 years agoI liked this because it was surprising. "Gentle scrape" somehow didn't fit the rest of the poem IMO. The next to last stanza was a great lead in to the final line.
