Blinding Winds |

The blinding winds do take my sight and chill me to the bone this night. For love has been taken from me and now in darkness I must be. I once did feel this love so true when the heart did ever beat new. Yet now I feel the ice of day as love is gone, forever to stay. From the lips of dark winter's flight the joy of comfort now in blight And with the call of winter storm I lie alone, chilled now, not warm. Was in the dark of the dreary play when love whispering cast away When thoughts of a future now dashed and knife of my loneliness slashed But soul shall rise from the dead ash as thoughts no longer shall then dash and winter storms will cease to blow for love I’ll find, and this you'll know.

I know exactly what you are saying here. I hope things are ok with you. I keep holding out that hope, for a better day, myself, but it sure is hard. Beautiful poem. Sandra |

Very well done Barry! It can be a challenge to write a sad refrain, but it feels sooo good when it turns out this well! A little more difficult to write from another person's perspective. ~Hugs, Nancy~ ~Love, like magic, depends on believing.~ |

Magnus...I can well understand these dark emotions; but a new day dawns. In the new dawn...love awaits, a spolmate hears your heartbeat. ***Ivy Rose |

Magnus darling boy shall I just say something short like this is good writing? Noooooooooooo of course not, because it’s not good writing, it’s stunningly fabulous writing. YOU are a superb writer my friend. Fabulous writing and even more astounding that it’s not written from personal experience. Absolutely excellent Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |
