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.

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.

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 ❤️❤️❤️

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.
