I breathe in your fragrance and it becomes nostalgic, like a myth from a story book, I will bottle and bury it deep within my heart forever and always. Unmistakably, undeniably and undoubtedly, I love you, and as such is beyond contestation.
As if a prophecy of Ill-fated love had been foretold to me I drop down to my knees helpless and begin to weep. I know you are leaving me, as many before you have done, never to return until you are lifeless, until your body lay dead at my feet.
I whisper into his ear softly do not forget me, then tell him to take this and keep it safe. I place something wet into his outstretched hand and walk away. Innocently he uncurls his fingers and looks down to find a blood-filled stain in the palm of his hand.
Now frightened and lost for words, he looks away for a few moments then starts to cry, streaks of fear now scar his cheeks. Bewildered he wipes his face while walking back to my side, and asks, my love …? I wipe the tears from my eyes and say, you have been granted the greatest gift of all, a piece of my heart for all of eternity, remember me my love, remember me always.
This is so beautiful
Thank you Fia, I gotta say, I’m not much of a poet. I’m more of a short story writer. Of the poetry I’ve written over the years. This is actually one of my favorites. Thanks for looking and leaving your thoughts. I appreciate you Fia ❤️
A phenomenal write. Well written. Lovely.
Thank you so much Vision❤️
Poetess Zazzles, your poem is thought provoking, and open to different interpretations. Love is always a calculated proposition. Often, only to be fresh cut flowers in the fragrance of the moment. Then becoming the dried rose petals flattened between two pages in life’s journal. I enjoyed the read.
What a wonderful interpretation Angels. Love is fragile and must be treasured.
❤️
Love is everything.
More of them than not it’s taken for granted.
What a truly heavenly write.
Adira, thank you for reading this poem and leaving your comment.

This is one of the most powerful, tender, and passionately nostalgic love poems I have read. The word are filled with emotions and sadness yet also the loving expression of the keepsake of your heart. Truly one I will remember as the years progress. A deeply felt poem.
