About the Poem
On the eve of my innocence's demise, my mind was filled with thoughts of love, like picking baby names and china patterns. Not for a moment did I expect the love of my life was consumed by thoughts of doubt and regret, picking his words of goodbye. For some reason, even though I had no idea what was about to happen to me, this poem flowed from my mind. Here you go.
Looming |
| by Samantha Goff |
| Looming in the air is the hint of your cologne. Tempting, teasing and tickling the essence of me, Breaking down the doors that you closed when You walked out. I feel it hang in the air like the uneasy comfort of your arms. I taste it on my lips like the frail sincere spring wind. I hear only the agonizing silence of my wounded heart healing. I see so clearly that, in the rear view mirror. I smell you. Looming in the air is the hint of your cologne, And what used to be. |

This poem touched me in a way I cannot describe in words for I am not as good with them as Sam.

Your poem is beautifully written and indredibly deep. It touched me in a way I cannot describe in words, for I am not as well with them as are you.
