Remembering

Her heart was a secret garden

And the walls were very high

So it was said in something I read

In a time so long gone by

She loved flowers and midnight stars

In moments of mourning alone

No one could know her endless woe

Of losing the love she had known

 

She never answered a single message

So I sent prayers and every thought

Hoping she’d see what she meant to me

But it finally was all for naught

Her heart was a secret garden

And the walls were very high

But flowers soon wilt and everything built

Except love collapses and dies

profound and poignant. I remember the story the Secret Garden...
Every thing dies except love. Well penned. Sad but well penned.

Thanks Prathama. I wasn't gone so long by choice. There are times when I have to work. I promise, however, that it won't happen again because I missed everyone.

I never wanted anyone else..after

Some find love again, and Marry for the second, and even third time ..

They seem happy .. But I guess I am the woman who's heart is a secret garden..

Soft .. and a little sad ... Well done !

It is terrifying to lose someone you love so dearly more than your life. I can only imagine the stages of acceptance i could go through when it happens. Painful crushing pain that covers you up in a bubble of sadness and despair. I'm back! I had fun reading your works :)

[DrD]

Thank you for your visit. I appreciate your kind words.

[luviva]

ohh so sad..
i mean loosing the one you love
and trying your best to get them back but all in vain
is a pain!!
hope that was the message of the poem
coz i tend to interpret them differently..!
nice write though and keep the pen going.

[DrD]

Your interpretation was right on and you are always welcome here. Thank you.

[Tarry Franck]

A sad read but a wonderful poem. So glad to see you posting you great poetry again.

[DrD]

Thanks again, Tarry. I missed you.

That was beautiful. I liked (should I said liked? more like detested but really appreciated) the futility of the compassion in the face of this insurmountable barrier. Awesome piece

[DrD]

Thanks for your visit and kind words.

[Baby Ricochet]
