Your feathered touch still roams my skin
incessantly and without permission
touching every well known fold and crease
until a cry of realization escape lips
living in denial of your departure
when fingers pressed against my lips
and hushed questions with
I’m sorry
handing back key to love’s nest
but escaping with the key to my heart

This was beautifully written..I really enjoyed it cause it is so true and so well put.
"handing back to key to love’s nest
but escaping with the key to my heart"
these are beautiful lines although i think you made a typo maybe it should be handing back the key instead of to key...Again beautiful poem

The longing to hold on. Seems so prevalent in many. That lost love. And dangling somewhere is a broken heart. I wonder... Is love meant to cause pain.

So sad and so beautiful. I love the feeling I get when I read your poetry. I do not quite know if I can explain it to you properly. But it's like..My heart and my soul is enlightened by the words no matter how sad or happy they are. It's just your words..It captivates me. Your writings lift my soul. And all I can do is sigh after I've read them. So yes,*sigh*
A brilliantly penned poem. Good luck in the contest. This is Gold! Gold, gold, gold!
