Highest Achievement - #7 in poetry [Oct 3, 2016]
~Nostalgia~
It's delicate, but potent.
The pain from an old wound.
A twinge in your heart..
Far more powerful than memory alone
A feeling of a place
Where we...
Ache
To
Go
Again.
-My thoughts. My word...

i long to write an aubade to your quiescent silhouette that is ever so ephimeral for it fades with the blink of my ever so tearful eyes so i can keep nothing but your absence inside it, my empty coat pocket
i close my eyes like always and i see you lying amidst all the pillows and sunshine with a billet-doux crumpled in the caress of your fingers such like i can't really decide what is more fragile, the billet-doux that holds my name scribbled on the seal or you, oh mon chérie...
why am i so afraid to open my ever so tearful eyes after i have a glimpse of it, all that has ever been and all that is never to be.. again?
and if i really open my eyes this time, just this time, i wonder if you'd be lying amid the pillows and sunshine with a billet-doux crumpled in the caress of your fingers, a billet-doux that holds it, my name scribbled on the seal and your euphonious laugh . . once again?
Author's Note
Listening to 'All You Wanted' by Sounds Under Radio. Such an emotional and nostalgic song. 😭❤
How was this poem? It has a Victorian or a French aura around it. No? Here are a few things to help you.
● aubade - a morning love song ● billet-doux - love letter ● mon chérie - my darling
