Where Are You My Darling?

Searching for the love of my life

 

Where Are You My Darling?

 

I first saw you standing

There at the head of the class

Was It love you were handing?

No, A 5^th grade test I did pass

 

Was I seeing double at Jr. High?

One was naughty one was nice

Family moved I didn’t say bye

The first heart pain was my price.

 

Were you my high school brunette?

Four year sweethearts & inseparable

College divided us weren’t ready yet

Heart hurt worst almost irreparable

 

I married you for better for worse

Twenty- five years it took to find out

That my Love was taken in a hearse

Sadly smoking kills without a doubt

 

I had mourned the next five years

Now have resumed my search for you

Was it you that help me through the tears?

Or the many dance partners I have no clue

 

Alas God has placed you in my path

A woman that needs me as much as I do her

Every thing adds up, I know, I did the math

My heart is racing everythings now a blur

 

Her eyes, her smile, her tender ways

Her passion, her kindness, her loving heart

Everything about her sets my heart ablaze.

What I love about her most is she’s smart

 

I can’t get her off my mind

My beautiful masterpiece to cover

So Perfect I will never find

Am I between a friend and a lover?

 

Where Are You My Darling?

Don’t my tears fall like thunder?

My little bird my little starling

It must be you, is it you? I wonder

Please come find me I am so alone

I have suffered from broken hearts

And other pains that made me moan

The agony without you tops the charts

 

Where Are You My Darling?

Reviews

[Wildecat]

Excellent piece of poetry, a definite pleasure to read your work.

[The Scanners See Sound]

Pros: Good cadence; clear point; positive attempt at illustrative language
Cons: While a clear point is eluded to, the format to convey it seemed to bounce randomly from one place to another, disrupting the ebb and flow; a bit lengthy given the fairly one dimensional language; occasionally confusing tense usage *referring to the girl directly for most of the piece, then stanzas 23 through 30 changing, then changing back randomly*
