Michael J. Falotico Poet Tetractys

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.

Sarah Seraphin November 7, 2011 at 1:50 PM * “This Soulfelt Verse * My Dear Sweet Precious Michael * Kind of Touches Ones Heart Amid A Bit of A Sombers Note * To Be Deprived of A Kisss Which May Burn Its Longing Upon Ones Spirit * What Tragedy Would There Be to Hold * May This Never Be Sooo * Very Beautiful Within A Stirring Light * Thank You * Blessings When I Behold Your Treasures In My Meek Coms Box * My Luv Always * Sarah.” *

Carolyn Devonshire November 7, 2011 at 1:12 PM 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
