John Kristopher Mathis Poet Blank verse

A Memory

I thought I felt your touch on me again 
The ghost of distant memories returned
Returned to look me in the eyes and prove
That I'll never really be over you 
And with the shock the phantom touch brought me
Arrived the frost a lonely heart runs from

Line Gauthier August 14, 2019 at 12:09 AM Your poem reminds us of having been there at one time... and how time heals old wounds. We eventually attract other people who are a better fit in our lives. Keep writing and sharing, John. John Kristopher Mathis August 14, 2019 at 2:03 AM Couldn’t say it better myself. Better people come when we afford them the space in our lives for sure! I really appreciate your comment!
