Separate from you, your face fades. I cannot see you clearly through the fog.
I remember the taste on my lips
Of a delicate sweet strawberry kiss
Of your salty blood I carelessly spilt
Of only the name of the one I miss
Your smell hangs like dew from my clothes
Dozing with them held close to my nose.
Still I feel your humbling embrace.
Your hair tangled in my fingertips.
My fingers curled up inside of yours.
Your hands plant firmly on my hips.
Your kind words echo in my stunned skull.
You whisper away the stress and the worries.
But it’s still not the same
As you being here.

Hey Veni,
Myjaspercat here for a review
Ok, wow, its been like a long time since I was last giving a review so I might be a little rusty. Please, I am begging you to hang in there, I promise I will do my best to give you the review that you deserve. Alright let us get started now...
I think that's all... this piece is actually very good. I feel like you have a nice sound idea here but it need work. Anyway, I hope I helped some and if you have any questions feel free to ask.
Beautiful.
Just a little confusing at times.
It was unique and interesting. it kept my interest the entire time. But the stanzas are a little weird. I'm not sure if you meant for the stanzas to change throughout the poem, but it did. and I really liked the part where you said "Your hair tangled in my fingertips.
My fingers curled up inside of yours.
Your hands plant firmly on my hips." It really drew a picture.
Overall it was just really pretty and powerful.
Great poem! I really liked the rhymes and the wording of it. You didn't match the usual words together, so it felt more unique when you read it. Still, I had some things I was wondering:
1. I didn't quite understand the punctuation. Some stanzas had a period at the end of every line and others had no end punctuation at all. I felt like the poem would flow better if you changed some periods to commas.
This line for instance:
This one felt a bit choppy when I read it. Maybe this is just something about the style I'm missing, though, because I'm not very good at reviewing poetry.
2. This is just a small nitpick, but when you said, "Your hands plant firmly on my hips", the word plant should be planted. The line before it was in past tense, so it would be best to keep it consistent.
Other than that, I thought the poem was perfect. It had powerful images and great rhymes. I really liked it!
