Longing

Longing is a guitar

still humming moments after a touch

Wishing for another strum

from your rough finger tips

Even though you don't play

too well

it's still hoping to be held

only by you

Waiting for the next opportunity

to be picked back up into your arms again

because the sounds you produce

reflect upon how it feels after being used-

Beautiful.

Where would that guitar be without you?

Still longing
