the word rolls
effortlessly from
my tongue –
lacuna
it has a romantic
sound
the sound of
a cello playing
a silky feeling
like soft melon
in my mouth
luscious and exotic
hiding the true meaning
the empty place beside
me – the gap in my world
where I am stranded
since you are gone

55 words – the plus is using the word lacuna

Oh, I love this. Lacuna does sound romantic. Well it does until you feel that emptiness within.

Bloody marvellous poem based on a fabulous word. I too love the sound of Lacuna, but I also know the meaning, add the two and create poignant.
