I am an aspiring writer currently in the Army. I am serving my second tour in Iraq. Poetry was my first love. I have now moved to short stories mainly but love getting feedback from people on how to improve my writing style.
My heart is an ocean
You came to swim in it
Traversed its depths
Made it your own
...
Don’t you see
I only want your approval
I claw and scratch
Peel myself away
...
You are with me in a mirror
I am never without you
When I sit alone in my bed
I can feel your soft carress
...
lost and wandering
searching for the way
your face appears but gone
there for me and back to you
...
