what need in me for kisses

dusk arising

 

 


what need in me
for kisses
with no heart
for love to flame

 

a rusted nail
suspends a memory
no picture
empty frame.

    Well that's a work of art. A masterpiece Dusk.

  • Caring dove

    Good writing dusk .. like your words ))I think even buildings and houses need love and care ..

    Sad writing tho .. I like how you speak of a lot in a few words

  • Nicholas Browning

    You've given us much to think about. Well done.

  • L. B. Mek

    'its funny, you think by now
    we humans would have learnt
    to have funerals, for our romances..'
    still, without it
    it's all, that noir of bleak
    but
    at a mere scent of potential
    for it, to visit us again
    and we'll only be using
    those vibrant filters
    for our memento, snapshots
    of life..
    (another relatable
    and ever-so impactful shorty, Dusk
    thank you!)

  • Distant View

    Nicely expressed in all its stark sadness. The second stanza is particularly poetic!

  • Fay Slimm.

    Beautifully sad eight liner dear friend - and a sure verse for my favourites

  • Neville



    tis indeed a masterpiece mate .. seriously superb ............. Neville

  • Rocky Lagou

    Wow. Truly emotional. Endearment is useless when there's no love within. Those memories, or picture frames, also feel like those memories that are just inescapable and that bring us down. Poignant.

  • sorenbarrett

    A great metaphor well worded metered with a sad feeling.

  • Michael Edwards

    A real corker and a fave for me.

  • Rozina

    Beautifully expressed in a few lines.
