Lilacs on Leaving
I look for you,
still. Reaching
through sound waves,
blaring, to pluck you
from nothing
back into existence.
I wait for you,
still. Walking
blurry lines of almost
there and crossing too
far gone.
I smell you,
still. Scraping
lilacs down metal
along shortcuts
to easy.
Prying life
out of the jaws
of a crash,
you used
to call home.

Hello Dear,
You have a beautiful blog here. I loved your theme. Great content and the colours are easy on the eyes.I was intrigued to read it and was wondering if you and I could be collaborators. I am a new blogger and started my humble blog some three months ago and had almost 3,300 followers. I believe blogging community is the most supportive and encouraging community. I want some writers as well. I kept unwell and was looking for someone who would like to post on my blog too. I would be highly obliged if you take a look at my blog and allow me an opportunity to collaborate with you. I love to write and write for some Ezines and Webzines like Roberta Pimentel and The Millionaire’s Digest. I write poetry, free articles, short stories and all other things. I can write content you want and word limit can be followed too.
😊🌹🙏❄️
Warm Regards

What a beautifully poignant poem. It exudes the solitude of despair in longing for a lover who is no longer. I’m inclined to give you a hug.

So beautiful and evocative. The sense of longing and wistfulness this evokes resonates for many of us, I think.

I really enjoyed the word usage and your “voice.” I loved how you finished the poem and these words
“blurry lines of almost
there and crossing too
far gone.” Were powerful. Lovely
