This last rose I give to you A symbol of my love so true To you who once held my heart I give you back yours different from the start Your wounded heart I took in I heard its call above the din Took it in and held it dear I filled it with love and kept it very near Now my love, your heart is healed To you love true is revealed One thing now before you go This rose gentle bird so my tears don't show ------------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

This is really sad but brilliant. It tells a tale that many have felt, I'm sure, both men and women. I like the way the narrator still seems to feel only love and no bitterness, a real feat! |

Very soft and gentle this is Sven. But I don't think that there is need to hide your feelings for one you held so dear to your heart. Marina |

Gentle as ever Sven, this is beautiful too... regards, sudhir. Hey you, out there in the cold, Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me? Hey you, standing in the aisle, With itchy feet and fading smile, can you feel me? Hey you, don't help them to bury the light. Don't give in without a fight. Hey you, out there on your own, Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me? Hey you, with your ear against the wall, Waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me? Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, I'm coming home.... by Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) - The Wall |

Wow Sven, beautiful as always. wonderful thanks for sharing.

Sven*~ That was a brilliant poem! Very heart felt. Your last two lines had a great effect on me. when you lose someone close to you it has a tremendous effect on a person. I hope you are feeling better. "Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying." Harry Anderson, "Night Court" *Cassandra Roseen* |

An absolutely wonderful poem, which I am quickly learning is always to be expected from you. You have a real gift for conveying emotions to others. Great Job! "That man has shown himself great who has never grieved in evil days and never bewailed his destiny." --Seneca |
