A plot of loneliness
Come near, mischief; play with the air of emptiness
Play with the little kitten that should have been upon this mattress
Kiss at the forehead that would have alighted with bliss
Have a drink from an nonexistent cupboard
Warm your legs by cold logs of barrenwood
Nobody, if nobody comes I’ll play alone
With a jigsaw puzzle spread on atmosphere
To complete a house that never was there.

Welcome Poddarku, I like your poem. The one thing I am sure of it should be 15 to 18 lines.

Btw,barren wood is two words.

Poddarku, I may have been wrong about the 15 to 18 lines. It is a delightful and intriguing poem the way it is, but I will show you what I mean :

plot of loneliness
Come near, mischief;
play with the air of emptiness
Play with the little kitten
that should have been
upon this mattress
Kiss at the forehead
that would have alighted with bliss
Have a drink
from an nonexistent cupboard
Warm your legs
by cold logs of barren wood
Nobody, if nobody comes
I’ll play alone
With a jigsaw puzzle
spread on atmosphere
To complete a house
that never was there.

I thought about  “gossamer” for “ atmosphere “ , but  atmosphere is better.

I've read your work on a couple other sites. This poem and your "the room within" are my favorites. Your words set a mood I can identify with even though they bring back memories of a time of terrible sadness.

Good luck with your writing. I enjoy reading your work.
