Weep softly in the night for love past
dreary time now the creature bears
once brilliant smile of purest caste
abruptly fixed to longing stare

Days once filled with wonderous rhyme
of precious moments shared by two
cobwebbed now with dusty grime
splintered scenes of pastel blue

Only sadness now and endless grief
whitered limbs brush musty air
as silent tides ebb to the deep
mask soundless wails for one not there

Sences ache for one whose charm
was offered freely, without haste
to one whose thurst with unslaked calm
determined not a drop to waste

The need remains, a mindless shrew
pitifully, in scattered disarray
searching for it knows not what
only now compelled to sadly say

I beg return from surreal clutch
guide me tenderly to thy nest
life is nothing without the touch
of weary brow to gentle breast



the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

This is so sad but beautifully expressed!
Talking about "crying" I'm reminded of the saying "Laugh and the world laughs with you -cry and you cry alone" but I have been fortunate in life to sometimes find someone to cry with me, as I have done with others, and the wonder of that experience dims the pain of the original heartache.

Pegasus; So beautifully said, yet I know that lonely pain, glad to hear it's in past.
Aren't we blessed to be able to put it to verse, get it out there, so healing can begin. You truly are a gifted poet. Ellie


Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Very beautiful...I love the imagery...I can feel your heartbreak, and understand it all too well...pass the tissues.

Is this love for you right now? That is true of some men/women what you say, pegasus111, but that doesn't mean that it is true for all of them.
