Time Alone

While you were at work
I smelled your side of the bed,
ran my fingers
over the smooth, white sheet.
Then I showered amongst
your short blue bottles
in the dark.

I light candles now
and watch your day's crumpled clothes
flickering in the corner.

    Very nice. You described a world in such a small space that it was very powerful.

    Yet again, you have made the simple so touching. :) Thanks, groove! :)

    You are all so quite nice to me!

    Someone told me a few days ago--and I quote--that I "write poetry for women." I didn't know what to think about that. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, but is it true? I'm not even sure what that means.

    you write poetry that makes women think you understand us
    which is QUITE rare... being understood... by an actual man
