My Own Darling
Promises Of Forever
I kiss the outline of your memory
part of you, you've left behind
I miss you beyond any degree
held for you, here, in my mind
distance has not killed the passion
I hold for you in my heart
fondness kept in managed rations
while my dear, we are apart

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

Love it - it reflects so well the feeling you have for someone that you love when they are separated by distance. 💗
May the distance not last too long, lest the "fonder" becomes "wander". Achingly beautiful, Kelli.
Lovely, bittersweet, and beautiful! What more is there to say? This poem was amazing and perfectly conveyed.
AWWW! Yes, it is bittersweet and tearful at the same time. Good job.
So bittersweet. What a great poem
Beautiful piece. Especially "fondness kept in managed rations." Love that line.
A beautiful poem, and truly conveys the feeling of losing a loved one, well done, 🖤✨
Lovely. Another great one, Kelli
