Once

Once,
covered
in kisses
quite long ago
tender caress of
arms as you loved me so.
seems as only yesterday
sharing a gentle love that showed
two lovers were we~that much I knew.
I now lie alone covered in memories of you

all i can say is...its beautiful. Takes the sense of beauty in simplicity to a whole new level. Bravo!

i thought this was great. your poems format was new to me and i liked it. heartbreak and loneliness really carried well throughout and your last line really delivered that loneliness message. good luck on the contest.

Aww! Geez...how lonely it feels. This was done so nicely. The small lettering make it feel even more isolated in the feeling. Great!

I enjoyed the physical form of the work, as it leads one through the transition of kisses to memories.

Fran, your words are heart-breaking but so beautifully written. I love the structure you have given this poem. It's almost as if it is building to the last line which is remarkable

Fantastic !!!!!!

Wow.

I now lie alonecovered in memories of you

I simply loved it. Other than that I like the structure here and the title as well.
Just a single word ...but it holds within itself a whole story.

Absolutely beautiful.
