Baby I Miss Your Touch

Oh, darling
Across these many miles

I have the touch of your words
On my heart
The touch of your voice
In my mind
The touch of your spirit
On my soul

But what I want
Is the touch of your hand
On my flesh

Come back to me, my love
I miss your presence
With all my being

Touch

April is National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo), which comes with its annual challenge: write a poem a day for the 30 days of April.

I’m travelling in Spain and Morocco most of the month, so it could be tough… but I’m having a go at it anyway.

Ahh, strictly his words or yours too? 🙂

I’m doing NaPoWriMo too, my second year. I wish you much fun!

(Also, do you know that you have to go to their page and copy your link there manually in a comment, the pingback does nothing?)

  <smile> A little of both, I suppose.
  
  And yes, I do… but as you can see from the tardiness of this reply, I’m having a hard time keeping up with even my correspondence. 🙂
  
  ❤ Thank you, for making sure I knew.
  
  How is it going for you this year? So far I've managed to keep pace, but I've been fortunate that while my blog is on North American time, I'm on European time, and can take advantage of my night owl tendencies to get poems posted on the "correct" day. 😉

    Oh, but you’re not linking your poems to their page any more! I don’t see that many people from there reading others but it does happen, so I’d recommend it, even though a poem is not written to a prompt. I’ve been reading the lot of them and enjoying many. Have time to spare, it seems. 🙂
    
    This year it’s been going slowlier than last year (why is “slowlier” not a word?). Only one third of the month done! But I’ve been regular and to the prompt too. Right now I’m trying to juggle the prompts with your Shadow challenge and find a nice fit, and only three days left! 😉
    
    It’s been great to follow your footsteps around the glorious parts that I haven’t visited yet. I’m sure you’re having a blast and not forgetting the doors. Everybody in Morocco must mind their door photos. 😉 Carry on!

[…] First, today is the second day of the poetry writing month. Hang in there if you happened to find me in the long list of participants of this year’s NaPoWriMo. There are 24×24 of us and after five years of blogging I know exactly four (if I haven’t missed anybody). How can this even be? Hi, Charlotte, Judy, Maggie and Patrick! […]

[…] A shop’s security gate in Barcelona’s ancient urban core. Throughout the city, these are thoroughly tagged by graffiti… except for those which have been lent over to a rather eclectic assortment of artists. The graffitists don’t touch these, presumably out of respect for the art. You’ll see another example in Baby I Miss Your Touch. […]
