Well... I wrote this free verse a while ago and I was just wondering if it was any good. I read it in a poetry reading event at a Barnes & Nobles after showing it to my English teacher. She said she really liked it, but I wanted to get some more feedback. I like to make the readers think when I write, so I consider it to be "philosophical" writing. Here it is:
Funny how something so taboo can become your greatest obsession,
Everything ceases to be the same as before,
Food and water does not suffice to distract you from the yearning that comes from inside,
Your flesh gets so used to a sensual, foreign warmth,
So that just a simple, homeland breeze is torture to your senses.
Maybe there is a greater plan for you,
Waiting to unravel before your emotionless eyes,
Waiting to show your sensory deprived flesh the wonders of a simple touch,
Waiting to show your pale, trembling lips the wonders of a simple kiss,
Waiting to show your broken heart the wonders of a simple hello,
Waiting to fill your mind with wonder.
Wonder... what a small word to represent something so vast and magnificent, don't you think?
