A Place of Mine

A
                                                  kiss that
                                                  no longer
                                            reaches your lips
                        just hangs in the breeze searching for a home.
                                  Only left with a memory to hold
                                               and hide away
                                                  in a place
                                                    that is
                                                     mine.

This is really beautiful Michael. I am glad I came to view it. I cannot remember if I thanked you for my win in your A Kiss Like Fruit Contest but if I didn't I will now. Thank you.

Perhaps the only thing that is truly ours and ours alone is our memories, Michael. The longing and loneliness are conveyed so beautifully in your poem. Thanks for giving everyone a chance to see how the double-tetractys should be written. Awesome! Love, Carolyn
