 By Stephanie Shaw

I could feel

Your breath on my lips

So far

I could feel

A chasm in my heart

The texture

Of a dream unrealised

Thick with regret

So close but so far

I could feel you

On the tip of my tongue

And along the edges of my heart

From "Snippets of Love and Other Pesky Emotions", 2022, by Stephanie Shaw. Available from Amazon.

Just between you and me, I love the way Stephanie Shaw's mind works, and how she puts her thoughts into words... love poems, threats of murder or dismemberment, or a humorously self-deprecating bio.
