Lost Love Outside this lonely room, (where one last candle weeps tears for lost love) an inscrutable Autumn moon rises over sleeping hills while here within, memory reigns …the cruelest master… your form dancing in fading twilight mirrors; your voice whispering with a weary west wind; (winters transient harbinger of ten thousand sorrows) your face etched in star-field splendor... as celestial epiphany to all that shall never be. --- b. e. adams (9/27/08) |

"your voice whispering with a weary west wind; (winters transient harbinger of ten thousand sorrows)" I hear a wailing wind in the background. That's far too many sorrows for one spirit to bear. |

Yo Secondhanddreampoet, This is well written. Snap out of it, and look to the future with hope. You never know what might turn up. Bobby |

Bruce, Yes, the wind softly wails through your words and it weeps too. Beautiful writing, my friend. Simply beautiful. Alison |

I think this is, maybe, the best poem on lost love I ever read, Bruce. Ida |

This poem draws my mind to Eliot's Burnt Norton, a work you know well, Poet. I enjoyed reading your poem, then the first part of Burnt Norton http://www.tristan.icom43.net/quartets/norton.html . Ah, longing ... and memory ... |

Bruce~ I read you and I smile, I read you and I weep ... I caress your words gently and feel that they belong to me~  Thank you ... oh, thank you~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
