Missing you from me

entry picture

I miss you away from me
I miss the feel of your bare neck in my hands
I miss your rhythmic fretting

Your screaming
Your singing
Your feedback

The curves of your body
Your wire
Your strap
Your tension
Your release

Your weight in my hands
Your weight in my lap
Your vibrations - your tremors

Now my hands feel empty
Incomplete
Lonely

I want to finger
I want to pick
I want to tap and hammer
I want to bend you
I want to play you
I want to hear my soul sing out through you

Mistakes and all

Oh guitar
My guitar
How you complete me

Guitars particularly have been the embodiment of emotion for so long that they should come from a womb rather than the workshop. A lovely inspiring piece of writing 220August

All,
Thanks for taking time to read my work and the comments.
Cynthia,
I misspelled lonely. Thanks, I'll fix it.

I like this a lot. Very clever and sincere too.

Are you deliberately using 'loanly' or do you mean 'lonely' - 'alone'? I could work with either, but it is a stretch. Genuinely interested.
