Still feeling your tender lips
On my skin
Your scent quietly lingering
In my nostrils
Remembering the soft touch
Of your fingers
Imagining the fine silkiness
Of your hair
Hearing the delightful sound
Of your whispers
All alone cuddling with your
Old sweater
Dreaming of the many times
I held you close
Promising each other to be
Together forever
Never realizing that
The day could come
When you would be
Taken from me

Very good emotive write, glad that it is form your mind and not from your life.
Thanks Goldfinch! I had my fair share of losses, but not recently.
Good write Fred.
Thank you, orchidee. Maybe one of your poems could lessen the sadness!
Others may disagree but I always think the mark of a good poet is being able to write from imagination as well as from experience- this proves it.
Your comment means a lot to me! Thank you Michael!
This is always the way when sudden death takes our dearly beloved - your pen wrote the truth about senses picking up vibes from the past - a read to bring me near tears Fred.
Thank you so much for your kind comment, didn't mean to tear you up, Fay!
keep this work up Fred, it's a stunner, my friend and I loved reading it.
Thank you Kevin, for this real nice comment!
Great write a true expression of Love.

Thanks M, I think it is usually the little things we remember!
Sometimes memories is all we have left. The good ones can warm us and help push aside the void.
Thanks lasergraph, and thankfully, we have a tendency to remember only the good ones!
Yes Fred, sometimes to write we need to put ourselves in an imaginary world. Having the feelings are if it was real. Great writing.
Thank you Malu, if we wanna be writers we better have a good imagination. 🙂
Beautiful but sad write. Glad it was an imaginative poem. Good to know your wife is still with you. Very touching!
Thanks for your nice comment, Christina! I am glad too she is still with me! 🙂
Tender , sad and a beautiful poem , well done
Thank you WL! I do appreciate your comment!
A beautiful tribute to lost love, Fred. One of life's most challenging growth experiences!
Thanks so much Louis! Sorry for the late thank you, I missed a few comments here. Just saw it.
It happens FRED and good to be prepared when it does ~ even if only poetically ~ Most sad love poems hark back to the past or lament the present. Few project to the future ! This is gem of nostalgia to come ~ RIAN
Thanks so much Brian, for your nice comment! And sorry for the late thank you!
An imagined tragedy in the midst of a flaming love. Really the stuff of nighmares. Joni Mitchell wrote a song which i have to say shouted at me on completion of reading your authors note then your piece itself "why do you dream flat tires?"
Thanks so much da, and sorry for the late thank you, as mentioned above, I somehow missed a few comments here. Btw, I looked up the lyrics to the song. Great song!
