Poem -
This house
They are ghosts now,
Consigned to history
In this house
Whose walls
Once loved.
Gone is the laughter
Which tickled the air
And danced on through
To the twilight hours.
There is nothing now
Except the memories
Lingering
In the dustlight.
And high among the cobwebs
In the corner,
Love lies barely breathing.

Hi Being Me. A beautiful write that captures the loneliness of abandonment perfectly. I must say, you are a very talented writer indeed.
I am totally humbled by your opinion ? Truth is, like all of us here on Cosmo, I just like writing which came from my love of reading poetry. I am so happy that you totally 'got' the loneliness and abandonment theme that this poem was about. Thank you very much for reading and leaving such an awesome comment x
Hi D.b... thank you sooo much for popping by and reading. Thank you, too, for the stars you gave to both my little poems. In this comment you have mentioned the line that is also my favourite. You are a poet of great calibre and I am honoured by your words x ?
Short but beautifully written.
Welcome to Cosmo
and congratulations on the nomination.

Thank you so much Leah x
Oh wow, I love it when a poem speaks so loudly to me from the page. This is a beautiful, poignant piece of writing. You are incredibly talented. Thank you for publishing this x
Gosh, wow, what a lovely comment! I am happy that you enjoyed reading it ? and that it spoke to you from the page. Thank you so much for reading and commenting...and thank you for the pin x
I couldn't begin to imagine a home without my beautiful daughter, she fills the air with love and innocence, her bumps and bruses, her tears and laughter, all of her is what makes home a home.
Amazing poem " being me", you have captured something amazing, well deserved nomination and definitely a winner.
A house is a home with family!
The house in the poem was empty as the couple had split and the kids had all grown and flown the nest.
Thank you very much for reading and leaving such an awesome comment. I am glad you liked it x
You have created a wonderful piece full of lonely melancholic memories, a joy to read ! A worthy nomination indeed! Lodigiana xx
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I am really happy that you liked the poem. Bless you and thank you x
" It is being so happy, that keeps you going ! "
Still, if it is in the name of " art ".....how, can it be wrong ?
Look to more, for inspiration. " Reach, for the stars ! "
Find peace, in the " tran- quill " pool !
You, diversify to get the most out of it. Life.
" Be happy. " Do not be, sorry. :)
Hi Richard, I agree with you; being happy does keep you going.
Thank you for reading and commenting and also for the vote. I appreciate it ? x
One of the finest poems I have ever read on this site. This is truly deserving of the win.
I look forward to following your future work.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Liz. I do truly appreciate you taking the time to read and comment. I am glad you like it. Keep yourself safe and well in these frightening times x
I wrote one like this a while back but I have to say this was more creative
Thankyou so much Greg! What was your poem called? I will have to have a read...although I think I have possibly read it...but I read so much that I could be mistaken so I will pop over yo your page later and see if I can find it x
so beautiful!
Thankyou Poetess x
Being Me a beautifully written and haunting poem that really hits home and delivers.
And a poem with a hint of an ambiguous ending with hope not forgotten for love still breathes, still a spark and still lives.
Full marks and quickly pinned for another reread and thank you for sharing.
Take care and simply enjoy life.
Hi Shaun. Once again apologies for my late reply to your wonderful comment. I think where truelove once lived there will always be a glimmer of it left. Thanks again for your reading and comments. I do, truly, value your support x
Thanks Tina and just revisiting and rereading a touch of poetry class.
For some poems simply warrant it and are simply timeless.
Tina, just revisiting again and love this one in what you have to say and the volt at the end is magnificent to view.
Superb!
Thank you soooo much Shaun. Hugs and blessings my friend x
Hauntingly beautiful & very special too if you don't mind me saying so :) x
Awww...thankyou my friend x
Tina, I decided to go take a peek at your first poem. So glad I did. Wow this echoes for me of the emotion grief can linger. Such imagery throughout. Had to Pin such a haunting yet wonderful write on loss 💖
Thankyou Gwen! When I wrote this I was thinking on loss in all its forms so I'm glad that came across. At the time I was thinking on my marriage that ended and the kids flying the nest ( well most of them) and the house I was leaving. Anyway, thankyou so very much for reading and commenting it is very much appreciated 🌿⚘🌿 x
So sorry for all that loss my friend 💖 I think you captured the feelings perfectly in this piece. Sorry for this late reply, been home schooling. Planning to look at more of your earlier posts. I do love your writing, be that poetry or stories x
Awww...thankyou xx
Since I didn’t read your frist poem when you first came out i’m saying something out wonderful poem
Bless you, and thankyou Greg. You have a kind heart 🌿⚘🌿 x
