haunting memories of her

Drink enough wine and combine them with lonesome thoughts and your mind can conjure anything.  Monday night, thoughts about what would happen to me if my precious Baby said goodbye, plagued me.  This is a product of that dispirited mood.  Something very different.

.

haunting memories of her

.

her absent love hangs heavily
like the dusty drapes in an abandoned mansion
forbidding hope to enter
forever entombing me in darkness

white blown kisses float aimlessly
appearing as wandering apparitions
chanting unanswered questions
in search of eternal light

pale ghosts of affections lost, torment me
dragging my unrequited carcass
burying me alive with haunting memories of her
in a tomb I could never escape

.

Don’t worry.  Love is on the menu for tomorrow.

      1. Not a bomb, I didn’t mean it like that, but you seem despondent. Images of tombs are forbidding to me, so maybe I’m projecting something from myself onto your poetry. I’m glad you’re fine, very glad to know this.

  2. I’m glad you’re back. I haven’t been around either but I’m glad to see you are writing. I don’t ever want to think about life with out my soul mate. We’ve been together so long it just doesn’t seem possible. We decided a long time ago that murder was cheaper than divorce so we’re in it to the death! lol romance is so much sweeter after a good rough! ;0)

  4. The only way a writer can grow is when he/she starts writing in a way that makes readers think out of their comfort zone. Strictly speaking from a poetic perspective, I think you did pretty well by writing something totally out of the head, with a little help of alcohol. Lol. I particular admired the way you managed to create a very Hitchhock atmosphere with some fantastic motion picture imagery..the dusty drapes not letting hope enter, white kisses floating like apparations…unrequited carcass was as morbid as can get..gave me the chills..

    Very brave of you to attempt this, mi amor. Shows your passion as a writer/poet.

    And as for the sentiment, it’s not gonna happen unless the carcass becomes me first. I love you ❤️❤️❤️

        1. Sounds good to me. lolololol 💘 💘 💘 Te amo. Mwah. I go to sleep now. Have a good day. Stay off the heels. Not good for your back. If the day gets stressful, have them bring you tea. Don’t forget there’s no Pepsi at home. Love you. Goodnight.

  5. Hello, your poems are always good. I don’t need to repeat it time and again. This time I need your help. Please explain me what this means – The call for applications states that the book proposal should be “oriented towards final publication, and outline a roadmap towards that destination”.

    1. Really happy you liked these lines. I found the image haunting and somewhat creepy. But losing someone we love means having to be trapped with these memories that will linger forever.
      Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. I appreciate hearing your thoughts.

    1. First, I think this was a good exercise. When one takes time to think about how their life would change if they lost their beloved, you make sure you appreciate them even more.
      Second, well, I knew she didn’t have Pepsi in the house. We both love Pepsi. I wanted to remind her so she picks some up on the way home. We do these things all the time. She will get those Jimmy Choo.
      She is worth it.
      Thank you for all of your kind words. We treasure every word.

  25. I loved this Drew and the title fits it perfectly, haunting memories of her. You’re living without her but you’re dead inside and she’s the spirit haunting your cemetery inside of you. You’re amazing Drew and your love for her is beyond, I adore you both. This was a wonderful write.

  28. OH GOSH!! I really like this one! Its so horror-like and haunting. I enjoyed it a lot. Especially the phrases “her absent love hangs heavily / like the dusty drapes in an abandoned mansion” and “white blown kisses float aimlessly / appearing as wandering apparitions” and “pale ghosts of affections lost, torment me / dragging my unrequited carcass”. YOU ARE GOOD AT POETRY, SIR! I enjoyed this so so so so much.

      Seriously, I never do this. Don’t miss my post tomorrow. It is a conversation I have with my mother in heaven as I introduce her to Nandita. I think you may appreciate it

  30. Maybe it’s something in the air this week, but I wrote a poem today that took a dark turn, which is unlike me as well. That said, you did well with this Andrew. And sometimes, thinking about those possibilities creates some fantastic, though sad and dark, poetry. For myself, it helps me to never take those I love for granted.

    1. Recovering from a big loss like that can take a lot of time. It is not easy. I am happy you were finally able to recover. Thankfully, ths was something from my imagination and my Honey still loves me.

      Thanks for reading and for sharing your thoughts, It is appreciated.
