i'll still smell the roses
so precious and sweet
the scented pine needles
as they hang from the trees

i'll still hear the lonely hounds
at night as they bay
see the sky far above me
be it blue or at times gray

then someone someday
will mention your name
and i'll feel regret in my veins
for in my heart your love remains

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

This is very beautifully written. I know the feeling.

Can't shake that love disease stuck in the heart.

Very well done I agree with you totally.

This is as it should be, Faith.  I am sorry for your loss.  I am assuming this is about the same man as in another very recent poem of yours - the title evades me.

the only condolence my meager mind can think to phrase is...at least when you love, you feel...and regardless of what you feel, it is still a good thing to feel...thank you for sharing this precious moment

I think....when you love someone, you love them forever, they're always in your heart; if their memory brings pain or pleasure, depends on the outcome of that love I guess. Enjoyed.
