My Lost Lover



Alone in my thoughts I think of the love I once knew
The lover I came near to
This man's touch and embrace was one I became accustomed to
Who's gentle caresses and touches took my breath away and brought me tears of joy
Being in his presence was something I deeply enjoyed
The softness of my lips pressed against his brought me pure delight
For then I knew our love was right
His head which ever so gently rested upon my breast brought my lover closer to my heart
Feeling the connectedness of my love reassured me that we would never part
Now that I have parted from him I feel as if part of me is missing
At night I miss our tender loving and kissing
I think of him whenever my deepest desire fills my heart
To be close to him even after we part

Monica Harley

I, Monica Harley, was born in Fort Campbell, Kentucky on April 6, 1981. However, I am currently living in Knoxville, Tennessee. I started writing poetry in fall of 2001 when I realized that I was half way through with college at 20 years old. My first poem, "Canst Thou Love Again," was published in Las Vegas, Nevada and I became a member of the International Society of Poets. On April 6, 2012 I got accepted to the Great Poets Across America in Washington, DC. All of the poems I write are about my past love.I attended Maryville College in Maryville, Tennessee. In 2007, I received a Bachelor of Arts in Business and Organization Management. Currently, I am searching for a Business career. After my Bachelors, I had a couple of dead end customer service jobs. more…
