when he left

With his books,
with his shoes
and clothes
he packed
his awful yet cool jokes,
his raging-teen voice,
his imperfect actions,
his satisfactions,
and reactions
on serious and silly issues,

but he would never pack
the essence;
his sense of love
that shall linger
like his fragrance
to fill my void.

I like this and i think it could be very very good, i just think the first verse needs some work. I will have another look at it and see if i can offer anything. Love Roscoe..

I know this needs some work. I just scribbled a few minutes after his leave, so it all came in raw emotions. I admit I didn't pay much attention to many things. I'd really like to hear your thoughts.

I was editing, extending kinda of, when I read your comment, so I thought I would keep it as is till I see what others think.
Thanks for dropping by. It means a lot.
