The front porch used to be the portal
to our secret sanctuary
where joy flowed like dessert wine
and poured into each room.
Your side of the bed
is empty now.
Silence reigns.
You have
gone

Ouch! My heart actually hurts...
Stunning simplicity of those first four lines!! I knew you would be good at this! Superb nonet!! šš
Really sad and reflective. This is a great poem. Good luck in the challenge!
Crafted and painted, loved it.
You've created an environment. The front porch holds memories of how your loved one once sat with you all. The feeling that someone is gone. This is a terribly heartbreaking poem. Thanks for sharing.
