nude afternoon kisses, lazing around
hugs when the night and cold draws in
dinner dates and wine-led chat
lusty wrestling at dawn
sharing laughs... tales
long seaside strolls
heart to hearts
love, no

I liked this it's so real! When the honeymoons over, well, it's over! Good job
Ahhh, such a beautifully tragic piece, Pal! Love the love you painted, and hate that it ended! Looks like you’ve been crankin’ em out for this one! Got some reading to do. Bravo with this one! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✨
Ahh a journey we all know so well! I really love this! Everyone says it perfectly here … I want to especially echo Poppy ❤️🩹🥰👏
Agree with Heather this was jarring and thus effective. We were drawn in with the sweetness!!
Man, the nostalgia and sweetness of this makes it that much more heartbreaking
Aww man!! Despite knowing damn well this was a breakup poem I was hoping you found some loophole, lol. The ending was quite jarring as I'm sure you intended it. Wonderful work. Finmerde
You built this up so well that the disappointment had quite an impact! Another excellent entry!
I love this one so much, Paul! Paints such a vivid and sensual picture, faded to nothing at the end 🥲
Hmmm, I enjoyed reading your poem and I was still looking for more of it. That was quick to end.
Sharing laughs and tales and the long seaside strolls. So sad it had to come to an end.
But why? It was all going so well. What an idyllic picture painted. All for it to go wrong. Nice.
Nice❤️
