I know the feeling all too well--that one person lingering and just doesn't go away. The hurt that goes along with it is overwhelming-loved your way of describing that, giving the arousing aroma personification by saying it had devilish hooks. Well done Bliss.

This was delicately worded and measured..And i could feel the lingering pain althroughout the poem..Well done...

This poem looks like it took an excruciating amount of time to finish. The way it is put together really aids the reader in feeling the lingering pain.

"Perhaps your presence
shadows my every move
for I wish to cling to faith
a moment longer, in hopes
it does not betray my trust."

This stanza blew my mind. The imagery created by the first two lines followed up with the impact and power of the third line almost left me breathless. Truly splendid work. 5/5.

AMAZING!
I absolutely love is Bliss! (: especially your ending, it's always amazing to end the poem beautifully, strengthens it more and more.

"Perhaps your presence

I really liked your almost-repetitive lines, with the word linger, totally descriptive!
Very well done sweetie. I really really missed your poems, I'm so glad you're back on the lane.

Well deserving of a win Bliss, congrats!

I did not get a chance to read this piece until now, but I am glad I did.

And your haunting scent
invades my essence
for I am not ready,
to release

Linger...
and we'll intertwine
in my dreams.

^^

Letting go can indeed be very hard, you captured this sentiment very well within this verse.

God bless,

5/5 Ingrid

I know exactly how you feel when somebody you once loved or love still lingers around you even when you dont want them to because they can't take no for an answer. Very mysterious but beautiful write, 5/5. Em

Hey this one's really sweet...i can relate to this very much...

Incredible portrayal of how it feels to remember lost love. incredible flow the words seem to spill out always leading back to that emotion that always lingers in the deepest pits of our mind. 5/5

Wow that was great, i can see how this won, congrats

Good stuff...got any more?

Perhaps one well deserving of the win. The poem has deep sentimental value, it seems. The best stanza for me was:

Those enticing eyes
once girdled a fairytale
with no ending in scene.
Now stitched in torment
carved by a lover's allure.
Reminiscence of yesterday

...yet you linger.

A very relatable one indeed. Still haunts me today.
