^My Love,My Love^

"We loved with a love that was more than love"

A love, oh so blessed by the heavens up above
We drank of the magic from cupid's cup of love
such a lovely love,yes a lovely love
 
Our love was true blue and as deep as the sea
The love which we shared  'twas a love meant to be
two souls who hoped love lasted for eternity
but fate intervened, sad fate intervened
 
One dark, and dreary night now many years ago
'Alas, a fatal crash, fate dealt death's final blow!
then in pain my heart began to break! ever slow
I could not let go! I would not let go!
 
And stil today, the tears I shed stream long and deep
In sorrow my soul dies, as my eyes do weep
My Love, My Love, among angel wings you now sleep
while I, in mis'ry steep, yes I, in mis'ry steep

Dear Fran,

I have been following your poetry for some time now and I've found you to be one of the most consistently good poets I know on WritersCafe. This was a marvelous piece. It is piercing and from the heart. The pain is tangible and the reader can't help but share your grief.

Kindest regards,

Rick

Dear Fran Marie, I definitely picked up on Poe here, before I even read your notes. You certainly created some tragic darkness here. I can see this is an old poem and pleased that it has been brought out into the light for an airing. All good wishes.

Chris

This is a beautiful and sorrowful poem filled with life be and tragedy. When the love of your life dies by unforeseen events at a young age it can be carried on forever...

[Fran Marie]

Thanks Kristina
for your kind review

[Poetic Beauty]

You are most welcome. I have been going back and redoing some of my old poems here and there. Refining them as they were a bit rough in the start

[Fran Marie]

you mean ..i have
some oldies in

I have had a few take me under their wings and actually break down some of the fundamentals and that helped tremendously

[Summer Emswiler]

I like this one a lot the wording is amazing

[PloughBoy]

Nicely done, Fran, and a very adept way of weaving that line from Poe's poem, Annabel Lee, into the narrative voice of your own work. I wish you all the luck in the world in this contest, even though I myself have a dog in this fight, if you will.

I liked the repetitive lines, and your showcase and highlight your poetic skills with some nice alliteration scattered throughout.

Nicely done, and again...good luck!

[Fran Marie]

Thanks so very much Ploughboy...was going to write a new poem on Poe..but my computer is down...can't do much on this mobile phone in posting ...thanks again now I will go read your dog..you entered in the contest..excuse spelling..

[PloughBoy]

You're are very welcome, Fran. I felt it was lovely, and elegantly captured some of the serenity found in much of Poe's writings.

Best of luck to you! :)

[Pawprints]

This was so beautiful! And graceful, and mysterious and well...awesome!

[Ivythepianogeek]

[.Bunnie.]

Ahh...inspired by Poe!! I was thinking that this had a certain old-timey ring to it! Wonderful job! I thought it was adorable. I loved how you repeated something in the second-half of a sentence...I thought that was uber cute. Great job!! ^.^
