*I'd change this to "patiently waiting for..." instead of saying "arrival" three times in a row.*
Only I know
And I keep it a closed door
In my secretive mind.
*I didn't understand this part. Only you know what? It doesn't make such since to me. I liked how this first stanza started but the way it ended really threw me off*
Waiting is a piece of art.
Gentle strokes of paint are
The slow ticks of the clock.
The colors blend like
the arrival of him
*I love this :) the metaphor you use if perfect and it's sweet as well. Really glad you used that here*
The memories weren't worth saving.
*This was my favorite line of the entire poem. Brillant! Such a simpel line but it really stands out to me. I think you did a good job with this poem. I'd just work on the first stanza little. But this was a deeply sad but beautiful piece. Nik*
