Scintilla of Chocolate and Wine

Oh, Luna... I could feel a great aching in my heart while reading this :(
A great emotional outpour, like a lightning strike to the heart.
You brought me deep into this painful moment, right there beside you... 💔
Your writing is hauntingly impeccable...

The word scintilla has always given me this image of lingering smoke, like it’s source is gone, but only just.  I’d hoped to capture the emotion of that image here with this snapshot of a story.   I’m glad it resonated with you.  Thank you as always for your kind words, NewB 💜

It's a very impactful poem, Luna. The imagery conjurs vividly in the mind. Truly enjoyed this despite the associated pain because it's excellent poetry.

Thank you so much, Ahavati 💜

I'm a sucker for good closers. Love those final two lines.

Thank you so much, Harry 💜

a fixed point of focus
in the glorious wreckage

Yes! ... perfectly captures a desperation to hold on. How much we endure, willingly.. and hold on tightly to the torture. Sexy piece Luna..

Thank you so much, Calamity 💜.

Beautifully vulnerable, lush detail, sweetly melancholy flow, excellent meter, evocative and touching. I hear you. I feel you.

Thank you so much, Daniel.  I really appreciate your support 💜

such melancholic grandeur... molten melting lights blurry in the fixed gazing teary eyes tearing the already bleeding heart... such emotions you bring vivid & stirring deep in your flowing words Luna... you sure know how to bring out them all in such poetic magic you have ev! write on xx

Thank you so much, Uma 💜

Dear L,

This poem was a wave of oceanic truth in realizing how much the smallest things will recall a love long gone. How is it the tiniest of things can create the largest of pain/loss. Wonderful write! H🌷

It always ends up being the little things, right?  Thank you so much for your support and kindness 💜
