Forsaking logic for lyric, a
heart interrupted, vacant as
sycamores grieve of their greens,
the nests of late summer morph into
dark scarlet cinders, and roses
retreat in their red ribbon caskets.
As runaway chimes and cobblestone
dancers trip on their moment of shine,
strung out on stars, far, you can still
startle me with unexpected etchings
of your manhood

If only to turn from these moments
of sighs, where miles of lush pasture
collapse into love's greatest graveyards,
where barely a robin ventures for respite
or accolades

But o so lonesome for you, stays me,
driving this falling to knees, as
the timing of songs recall the shout
of your name, in bold lettered marquise,
when lesser suitors now dim or rust in mere
whisper, never to maim, lacerate, or to
puncture, in such the depth of your
rapture, upon this still fragile heart
of remember.

Your last stanza says it all. Though you seems to not be able to stay with him, his skill at giving you what you desired, but backing off at the crucial time speaks volumes. You are working through your pain with your poetry. THAT is a good way to go.

EmmaRose, I ache for your pain, but you clothe it in Nature’s most exquisite garments so sensitively, that I feel guilty for enjoying the art and excellence, though regretting the emotions you went through to paint this masterful cameo.

Marvelous! You're imbuing pain with beauty in your words, and isn't that the reason we make deathless art [that and to communicate something]? Incredibly well written.
