A literary dance with Banquozghost, who writes first:
I walk home
Each step I count
At home
each sigh
each tick of the clock
each drip of that tap
I never fixed
I count them
since you left
...
Bare walls
Unadorned
Where once your image hung
Press close
Suffocate
Crushing my now dying spirit
Still
In longing
I wait
@Banquozghost
...
@MercurialNight
Hush of air
settles
on hungry skin
Aching for tenderness
you do not come
do not touch
Memories
tears
frozen in my fingers
...
Ethereal wraiths whisper in my mind
Memories of soft words
Whispered
Do linger
& then R gone
Haunting me yet
With every breath
@Banquozghost
...
@MercurialNight
Last fingers of smoke
A fire dies
Red veins of heat
turn to grey worms
of ash
slinking
into stillness
Cold without you
...
Embers flicker
Fighting 4 life
2 blaze again
This smouldering ash
Dusted on the floor
Then born aloft
On a breeze
Dispersed
@Banquozghost
