(mostly) short poems on life and love

with a shiver

March 17, 2023 by Michael Guerin

from within the prison
of desire
i reach out blindly

for your voice
whispered
in the darkest corner.

but you’re not there.
i feel
your presence

in each shadow
caught from the corner
of my eye,

a shiver
of recognition
electrifying my veins.

but it’s not the same
as a delicate
kiss

on your parted lips,
so i’m left to imagine
how you taste

in a place
far beyond belief
and wonder when

this infernal longing
might reach
its sudden end.
