GRIEVING LOVE
Before, during,
after fame
after fame
did love's flame
keep on burning,
never adjourning?
once I,
loved by lovely artist
who traveled every place
on our globe,
dancing
on her toes
on her toes
now....
oh! I miss her face
god, I miss her so...
not secret our love,
nor for show
remember we,
strong trees?
side-by-side,
tall we stood,
tall we stood,
roots weaved
but never tied?
and I took leave
and died?
oh! hurting heart,
you cried.
we met--before fame.
even during, next--
how persistently flame
how persistently flame
continued to burn.
truest of loves
has no adjourn...
our one anticipation
to meet, greet,
on street or shore
"quoth the Raven,
'Nevermore!'"*
'Nevermore!'"*
our enscription:
"forevermore"

ReplyDeleteLove is probably the best thing one can have, and the worst one can lose ... wonderfully written :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, this is very tender, Steve. Truest of loves DEFINITELY has no adjourn.
ReplyDeletewww.youtube.com/embed/rIX_6TBeph0?rel=0 ... both gone ... him and her ... but still won't say: Nevermore ...
ReplyDeleteit is tough to lose someone you love... and a comforting thought that you will meet again one day...
ReplyDeletePowerful picture, heartbreaking really. Powerful words. Does the idea of love grow in the distance? I wonder. Nothing to ruin that image, it is frozen in time.
