PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Bin liners full of newly ironed clothes

I imagine the crisp creases still remain,

they've not yet lain long enough for the crumples to form.

Boxes of  photographs

with shiny gloss finishes and neat corners,

not old enough to be sunbleached and coffee stained.

The odd lonely button from your jacket sits in the drawer,

spare parts that were never used.

Socks with no match.

CD's with missing covers,

And a half empty bottle of whisky.

Books barely thumbed through

and an abstract painting,

is all that remains of you.

In time, they will be gone

Faded, tatty and worn.



Your scent lingers

And memories linger longer.
