Soft, silky amethyst sheets wrap around me
As the sun does on a bitter cold morning’s haze
My pearl blanket preserves my warmth;
It is my genuine safeguard
This is comfort,
This is home.
This is where daydreaming
And night fantasies befall
This is where I hear the waves crash, and the Ocean’s call
I hug my clean, laundry scented pillow,
While autumn’s breath floats through my window,
Filling my heart
With felicity and love
Lit candles blown out by colourful winds,
Returns for me, past memories-
The smell of his skin
The beautiful harvest moon
Leaves its lustrous afterglow in my room
As vapors from burnt out candles leave an aura of pumpkin spice,
Lavender, and apple pie
My hazel eyes turn sapphire like the sky,
And the stars appear faint and shy
Like I was on the first night we met
When I hear the winds whisper your name, how could I forget?
I cuddled close to blankets and sheets,
When you weren't there to comfort me
Your arms were my haven,
For what I felt for you was graven
Your were my bungalow,
My secret hideout, somewhere I would run to with woe
Knowing that your kiss would make my burdens escape
Knowing that I would feel your impassioned embrace
Remembrances of this season;
The love to me, lust to you we once shared
You left me dangling, with no legitimate reason
It hurts to admit that I truly cared
Fall arrives, and leaves so sudden as its’ auburn leaves
Pave way for winter solstice
Your lust for me, and your mistress, left you only to appear in my dreams
Being with you again is my only wish
Although you hurt me deeply, my heart still finds space to love you
As autumn falls each year, I have come to accept that you have forgotten me,
My happiness may be crestfallen, but all I want is for you to love her as much as I loved
you.

This poem is the way I feel each time Fall sets in, and being that within a few weeks it will be starting, I am beginning to feel it come forth. Autumn is my favourite season, bringing back the best of memories, but at the same time, bringing back pain of a broken heart. Even though it's been a long time since it happened, I still remember it like it was yesterday. I'm over it now, yes, but the memories still exist within my mind and thoughts. My only concern still is that he is happy and will love her like I loved him and takes good care of her.

Beautiful
My hazel eyes turn sapphire like the sky,
And the stars appear faint and shy
Like I was on the first night we met
When I hear the winds whisper your name, how could I forget?
This part I relate to the most. The entire write was brilliant and beautifully discreptive. Keep up the amazing work

This was another grand write to read!! Thank you for adding this to my contest!! It must be hard to really love someone and then have them not feel the same... and then it's like they've just abused your emotions and trust. Beautiful write, wonderful imagery... worthy of its awards and recognition! Thanks again!!

It sounds like he didn't deserve you!! You loved him, he felt lust but perhaps no deeper emotions... I think it is wonderful that you can still wish him well and hope he is loved... That shows you have a beautiful soul. I really enjoyed all the imagery in this piece.. I hope you have found or do find the love you deserve!

Thankyou for entering
To be totally honest this here belongs in my other contest, "loss of love". It doesn't fit into what I am looking for here but it is what I'm looking for in the other contest. thankyou for entering, and I hope to see this in my other contest.

I absolutely loved this write. The imagery in this poem was so amazing. It's like opening up a window into someones dreams....or better yet, there thoughts.....not to sound creepy or anything. I meant it seems very realistic. I usualy don't like to read long poems, for whatever reason I don't even know, it's probably my intention span is not very high or something......But I realy enjoyed reading this, it was very good. I guess it was the nice detail within this work that kept my eyes no the screen. Anyway, I apologize for writing such a long comment, that's just what I do when I like someones poem but I'll stop now and congrats on the trophies

Remembrances of this season;
The love to me, lust to you we once shared

I love the sentiments stated here..which are quite natural and so universal as well..the immageries here are beautifully devised to represent the mood and the emotions of the soul as well..a great poem indeed.... -
Feelings are forever
What we feel is what makes up the very essence of our souls, a lifetime of experiences and emotions can be to virtual paper as an endless stream of heartfelt romance, yet time keeps marching and march it does relentless in its onslaught aiming for our very hearts.
Embrace your sweet memories of those sweet and yes sometimes bitter days for this is what makes you who you really are.
I like it, I like it so!

Congrats on the bronze and honorable mention trophies. Though the rhyme was a little choppy, overall this was a very well written piece. Thanks for the read.

Amazing...
This kept on reminding me of my ex. I feel like I know she never truly loved me, (being too young I think to understand love, especially from the family she was brought up in), but then again sometimes I wonder if she could and did perhaps actually love me.... I do not know, I am very confused... but past her, and don't want her in my life anymore.
Thank you for this great write. And I hope some day you can re-grasp this boy.

Very well written. I really don't know what to say you have me speechless. This is just so heartfelt. I do in a way know where you are coming from. In my situation though I see my ex gf with her bf and well it kills me at times. But now I got someone who I dare not let go of. So this my friend was a great write. Keep it up. Thanks for entering the contest and good luck.

so sad, yet so beautiful! I cannot help but feel your heartbreak, you have really tugged my heart strings by writing this amazing, emotional piece.
'Although you hurt me deeply, my heart still finds space to love you' this line captured my attention the most because it reminds me of my now split parents ..
Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us here on AP! Keep writing!

The last line just left me reeling. That's inspired and tragically honest. A line like that just lingers on long after reading the poem.
