^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

You are able to keep this amazing pleasant rhythm with your short words, this was a wonderful, romantic piece, in the excitement of dreaming about a perfect love we get our balance back again. such a talent you are. great job.

I've always loved Poe. One has to wonder what was going on upstairs when he wrote...
Anyway, this is a great tribute to his work with just enough of your unique style to make it rap, tap, tap at our chamber door.

Love the archaic style, must be the influence of Poe !
"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"

Nicely expresses loss and mourning
