WHISPERS


Whispers, just whispers, was it the wind,
Sweet breezes blow by me, where has she been,
Memories, fond memories, chased by the pain,
Voices that whisper she’s gone, again.
Lonely, just lonely, left all alone,
Moonlit shadows, heart turns to stone,
Sorrows, deep sorrows, burden the soul,
Regret and despair, claim their toll.
A moment, one moment, what did I hear?
Was it the wind, whisper she’s near?
Falling, I’m falling, into the past,
She’ll not return forever, at last.
Leaving, I’m leaving, time to move on,
Misty last memories, I’m finally done.
Breezes, sweet breezes, on new morning dew,
The wind carries her whispers,
"I’ll always love you".

Hello, there! ~ and welcome aboard the pip ship! I hope you enjoy sailing these pages of blue as much as I do!

"Lonely, just lonely, left all alone,"

"Sorrows, deep sorrows, burden the soul,"

"A moment, one moment, what did I hear?"

"Falling, I’m falling, into the past,"

"Leaving, I’m leaving, time to move on,"

"Breezes, sweet breezes, on new morning dew,"

~ The entire poem is first-rate! I love the repetition and cadence of the above lines!!!

Giving you a warm, welcoming pip hug,
Earth Angel

Thank you so much for your kind words.  This poem was inspired by the love of my Father and Mother in law.  She passed away just 2 months ago.  3 other poems of mine were inspired by them  they were together 44 years.  Please check "Eternal Devotion, Wilted on the vine and First there were Two.
Let me know what you think.  Theirs was an unbelievably true love.

Welcome to Passions.
Wonderful flow to this piece.
Enjoyed the tempo, put music to the words
that echo into dawn.

The wind carries her whispers,
"I’ll always love you".

A big welcome to PIP, you will love it here
and I loved your poem.

I liked this very much.  

I swear losing a love is just like going through a death...the seven steps of grieving..

That is what your poem reminded me of.  

Welcome to pip...where everyone knows your name.
