You Linger
~~~
Like a faint wisp of smoke
Or a letter unread
Like an itch I can’t get to
You linger in my head
~~~
Like a subtle May breeze
Or a good word kind said
Like a tattoo in ink
You linger in my head
~~~
Like the scent of a rose
Or of brave blood well shed
Like a haunting fairy tale
You linger in my head
~~~
Like an over-due task
Or a hunger unfed
Like a siren memory
You linger in my head
~~~
Like a favorite song
Or the feel of warmed bed
Like love left ungiven
You linger in my head
~~~

Awww- hard to shake off.
Sometimes near impossible. Thank you, Beth!
Wonderful writing my friend!
Thank you, brother!
You’re very welcome!
These words could easily be turned into a song!
Not by me they can’t. Thank you, sis!
And you call me a romantic…
Beautifully written! 😍
Thank you, Kristian!
Beautiful
Thank you!
Even when we might want to let go, those memories persist.
Like the last leaf on a tree in fall. Thank you, Pete!
Brad, you write poems that linger in the mind.
