I lie here alone and naked beneath the comfort of the quilt that we picked out on our honeymoon. I pull your pillow close to me and bury my face in my memories of you. Your scent still lingers throughout this house, you know... I picked up a towel from the bottom of the bath closet yesterday... A bottle of your perfume rolled across the floor and stopped at my feet... I sprayed a little into the air and just stood there, missing you.... Christopher M.

Oh chris..this was so sad ![]() "For every beauty, there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth, there is an ear somewhere to hear it For every love, there is a heart somewhere to receive it".--Ivan Panin |

Chris, This is so true...missing someone is so much more than just in your head; it's a taste, a smell or a touch. |

Chris~ I understand this ache so well. You wrote it beautifully. Missing is more than an emotion,it is a substance that can choke the air out of a house. Great poem.-SEA |

ChrisG~ This one tears at the heart. It's so beautiful. What tender, touching memories to confront. Cherish those things that allow you to recall the love ... someday the fragrance may disperse, but linger in it's luxurious fragrance while you may. Hopefully, another perfume will fill the rooms of your heart. Chris~ I really like this. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

You pull those special details out of the missing and make it so real. Very well done! |
