His Echo

She crawled inside his skin to feel what he felt and knew she must linger there to drink of his sweet song She asked him to do the same before he walked away Inside her ceramic soul his whispers echo still where broken clouds and lilacs dwell She sipped his heady wine an image that haunts her dreams when she seeks to nestle close  With heart in tow  and suit cased tight she sets his skin aside

Cheyenne I feel a great loss with this piece; and subsequent relief. I am not sure, but echo must ring for memory, and if that memory regards itself within heartbreak or loss, then the skin that remains would follow the melody that was left. your similes were well done as usual, and the metaphors- and yet it is the straight forward line “haunts her dreams” that stays with me long after numerous readings. This is a very fine piece, filled with answers and contradictions. I am glad to have read it.

Very original from the chose of verbiage to the subject matter. Loved the word choses and the phrases coined from them. The intensity of this is not lost on the reader as it builds to the unexpected conclusion. Bravo poetess for a new a fresh way of viewing relationships... Lora

Very endearing write Cheyenne - getting past an event in life seems to be the message here. I unfortunately can relate - and I write it out- and distract myself as much as possible yet I get emotional "sneak" attacks that take me down. Once again your words have made this write stand out - love the suit cased tight as if in closure will change everything - I feel your heart in this write- blessings, Deni
