Somewhere in the night Someone will cry Waiting for love to die Neon lights won’t illuminate Darkened streets where aimless souls, Masses of flesh await Filling little vacant holes That won’t satiate Shiny diamonds of dirty glass Sparkle once, and once only Fading in twilight fast A little lost and lonely, But too bright to last So much given away too soon Can never be retrieved Where once begged for highest noon, Now all are grieved With a fainting swoon Somewhere in the night Someone did cry Waiting for love to die |

A mournful piece, this one. I think I've seen the street where this is happening, well one of the many. Well-wrriten forlorn. |

Thanks SEA, but I'd like to know how it spoke to you, and how that differed from what was intended. Drop me a line please. |

PK~ it just reminded me of girls I've known in my life.........they gave their innocence way too soon and ended up so sad and forever changed.....it just broke my heart.....they made mistakes that thankfully, I learned from........It was a memory hitting full force, that I didn't expect. I don't know if that was your intention with those lines, but they were powerful. SEA |

a dear friend told me once "it is easier to kill love than to nurture it." He was dead right. I enjoyed this very, very much. Kathleen Blake |

Aw hell! I don't think it ever dies, but, you're right you're always waiting for it to do so.... this is a very worldly render and I enjoyed it very very much...like the idea! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

An interesting composition. Many images I found symbolically suggestive, smooth. Nicely done. Thanks for it. Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Does love die? Sadly. . . yes. . . But does love also live?? Wonderfully. . . yes as well. . . So, love lives. . . and love dies. . . But. . . what keeps love from dying??? Superb PK. . . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
