Just a few suggestions mate....

a comma between memories and please...those two ran on together...

tho = though (simple typing from texting Im sure lol)

and I would change that second fragrance to scent, simply because you used that word in the title and in the first stanza.

other than that, I loved this!!

rings pretty true, there is something still in our hearts when one leaves us...a smell, a memory, a touch...theyre still there. which is amazing.

penned very beautifully Tony.

This is very powerful and touching T, I related to this and it tugged at me.

I find it really interesting that we can remember someone's smell for years and years and how we can relate that smell to them every time we get the scent of it.

Your words are touching in the way that your pain is evident with the grief you share, the memories and the lonely feeling without them.

I also like the way you claim the chains as your own, as if it is your own mind that is stopping you from moving on - because in reality it is. Only we can decide when we are ready to move on, I feel as humans, we think moving on and forgetting someone is the same so we tend to stay in the past so we do not forget them.

Sad, but lovely poem.

Your essence still lingers upon my fragile
heart.Invisible to humanity
as real as the very air I breathe.

^^I love the depth in this poem and the power you portray. The description is haunting, to have someone linger on within you even though they are gone. This hits me hard.

Oh, there should be a space after the period in, "fragile heart. Invisible to".

Fragrances of the forgotten live
inside all that surround me,
I'm a prisoner of my memories, please-

^^ The use of 'fragrances' here is an interesting choice as it could have different meanings, I like it.

release me from my own chains.

^^I think this part holds the most power throughout this entire poem. To be bound in chains through turmoil inside yourself caused by the actions/feelings from another is one of the hardest things to escape. The only way to do it is to let go of them or the thing your holding onto, but if you do that, they could be gone forever even in the boundaries of your own mind. But not moving on is torture to the soul.

I can not shed one more single tear
my darling , even though
the thought of drowning ignites our reunion.

^^I admire the strength here, to push on.

Till my clock stops ticking I will live everyday
bathing in your scent;
waiting to continue our forever.

^^Love the use of senses in this poem and how you reference them. This poem is sweet yet tortured in a way. It's lovely and beautifully written.

You know....why drag heart onto line two when it should proudly end line one?

Sometimes we can become restricted by the look of a poem, rather than the sound of it.
who cares if line two would then only consist of 'invisible to humanity'
at least it is a bold statement. it is a clever line that deserves to stand alone.
(hell, I have started writing single word lines...)

This is a 'nice' poem Tony, I like your message, it is sad, it is also thoughtful.
nice write.

Lost love always leaves marks and nothing is stronger than a scent.

Smell is so strong and can overwhelm you at times. I liked this piece a lot.

Keep on writing!

I love the way your first stanza grips me tightly and explains just enough to make me want to keep reading. I like the way the second stanza drops off into a one line stanza. It makes the point very potent and unimaginable. Wow. The ending stanzas are amazing, they have depth and a hint of hope.

Man, this poem, this poem is wow. Excellent write.

It's amazing how when you remember the smell of someone, their smell becomes alive ... you can smell them all over again, even if they have been gone for quite some time. You captured that flawlessly here.

I like the mention of being chained by the memories, sometimes we are... no matter how bad we want to forget, they are apart of us, chained forever. Sometimes it's not a bad thing or a bad memory but it recalls sadness...and sometimes you just want to forget so you don't feel the pain any longer.

Lovely write!

Another emotional rollercoaster. What touching poem. "Your essence still lingers upon my fragile heart" - an intoxicating first line. and "The thought of drowning ignites our reunion" - fantastic line in the context of this poem. Another great write Tony.
