Norman, I felt the loneliness in this one. Sometimes one word really is all that remains when you have already said everything else. Well expressed, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Norman I love the structure of this poem allowing the title and main meaning to be expressed over and over to emphasize its meaning. In the same manner rhyme is sparingly used to emphasize certain elements. Clever an nicely done a fave

Love\'s journey comes to an end as told by this poem. There is sadness here and I can feel the cold coming on. Nicely written my friend.

Powerful, Norman...there’s no accusation here, just the ache of something beautiful reaching its end. This landed hard. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Very emotive words Norman, when my wife passed seven years ago walking up those lonely stairs was so sad.

A LONELY STAIR
Thomas W Case said:
There’s a damn quiet loneliness here, with the candle flame, empty house, distant memories, and lonely stair creating the feeling of someone sitting alone with everything they’ve tried not to remember. The final image is the keeper for me, because forgiveness becomes a tentative footstep upward, something fragile you approach slowly rather than something you simply decide to possess.

A question set poetically to consider how one sits socially due to one\'s views and actions and how clearly one sees their effect. Nicely written with good meter and rhyme it flows well and is a fave.

The image became painfully clear in the middle stanza, moving from an initial M.I.B. image in my head and then transitioned not so gradually to the SS and such.
