It’s like a pact that breaks the seal
and scatters tears from out the feel
for saddened is the life force shield
that mourns upon this worldly field.

They said it best those poets past;
how love can break the strongest heart
and follow in the steps of time
waiting for that last goodbye.

I’m out of love for one above
and ‘tis a backward shove of love
into the dungeon of belief
where lives that monster, grief.

I, I, should have known better;
love falters so and stutters
and leaves the end a-dangle  
in life’s unholy tangle.

But I know love’s symphony
plays unfaltering in memory  
until the wild rose blooms new life
from the pain of a goodbye.

Oh, my love, wait for me!

in life’s unholy tangle."

Life and love: a tragedy of errors.
Great write.

It is, JL, but it really shouldn't be - it just shouldn't be!  Thanks so much for the read.
