Norman, this really moved me. That image of a timeless kiss leaving its stain lingers, and the choice to retrace those steps without surrendering to bitterness gives the ending a quiet strength. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A LONGING DEEP
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, what a beautiful reflective piece. The movement from loss to memory feels natural, and the imagery gives the poem a dreamlike quality without losing its emotional center. That final thought of days that \"danced their time away\" is a lovely way to leave the reader quietly reflecting. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Norman this poem to me is melancholic and sadly wistful of a past loss yearned for love. It is most lovely in its writing and images and is a fave

FALLEN ROSE
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, what a haunting piece. The progression from fading candlelight to broken promises and the fallen rose creates a meditation on time, loss, and endurance that stays with the reader. It never feels hurried...it simply unfolds, image by image, until the melancholy settles in. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Death is painful at the best of times, but watching someone slowly die is heart breaking.
You put down a fine epitaph.

Reading this brought back memories of watching loved ones decline, and how difficult it is to witness someone you love become so physically diminished. Thank you for putting words to something so many understand, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Powerful sentiments in this poem nicely composed in rhyme it speaks of the wasting away of a life that was once strong and vibrant now weak and frail. The last word says it all. Well done

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this is a sobering reflection, my friend. The contrast between those who struggle simply to survive and those who pass by untouched gives the poem its emotional weight. Thought-provoking work. 🌹🖤🙏
