Holding That White Dove!

~~Daniel J D~~

The tears in my eyes
Are pain from my heart
Torn and shredded
Contemplating life apart
My arms have gone out
Offering support
But the pleas seem lost

How can love so pure
And seemingly forever
Be shattered, in tatter
Begging for a cure
Kneeling in agony
Eyes closed, ears deaf
You left only a paper leaf
Saying it was over
All that is left is a memory

Perhaps trying hard is not the answer
For when a mistake is seen as an error
Forgiveness to you did not exist
Even though our life was an endless list
Of happiness, and understanding
The choice you took was opting out

Nevertheless, my love
I will hold in my hand that white dove
Look after it, caress it, until you return
Then I shall release it in turn
And in the name of peace and love
Hold you in my arms again, my love
Drying your tears, while comforting you
In the home, I maintained for you


Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
(Daniel J D)

Enduring such hardships can make or break a person. The need to persevere is of utmost importance. Never giving up, that is the key.

DANIEL, I must say the above quotes are truly deep felt emotions that you penned into words leaving me in sighs....

This poem depicts 'True Love'

The nevertheless ending portrays the ultimate in forgiveness when after I read this poem twice....

Thank you for sharing...

God knows this broke my heart!
Such sorrow, such poetry in a beautiful plea for understanding. God bless.

What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life.
