wine stained carpet (silver)

Missing image




They left shared abode
as abandoned as their love
where remnants of affection pealed
like paint from walls
and memories lay shattered
on wine stained carpets
caused by anger slammed doors

Only she returns to the ruins
every now and then
for a waltz down memory lane
of happier times in love

    Beautifully done! It is nice to look back on happy times, if you can hop skip and jump over the sadder ones. This has an excellent flow to it, very neat read, good luck

    You have wonderful imaginary here, this poem was so sad in a way.
    "like paint from walls
    and memories lay shattered
    on wine stained carpets
    caused by anger slammed doors"
    Wonderful lines full of imagination and strength.

    Short

    This is a short poem I can see all the images here very clearly but having a hard time feeling the emotion. Is that the feel you are going for love that once burned hot with passion but now is just a dying ember of memories cause I just feel cold like a woman turned her shoulder to me or she slapped me and walked away standing on the curb. Stund and shocked.

    I love these lines especially 'a waltz down memory lane', they conveyed the photo so well.
