The poet and the poetess.

A sad love story. By Amy R. and The_Ancient_Rock.

The poet was silent before,

nevermore. 

Why did you had to leave? 

Baby girl, I had so much love left to give. 

I need you near. 

I want you here. 

To uncover you with gentleness. 

To discover you in kindness. 

Love is the poem. 

I am the poet, you are the poetess. 

You complete me. 

When I am blind, you make me see. 

Hold me in your love, guide me... 

Gentle flower, seduce me... 

Reduce me to the simplicity of love. 

Lift my heart up above.

_______________

The poetess softly replied, 

"I had to leave, I had to be free." 

From your love so strong, it felt like chains guarding me, from the life I couldn't see, 

our love was strong, our hearts were too bright, 

but the world outside was not in our sight, 

we dreamt of a big life, 

of adventures and more, 

but our world didn't allow,

 it was not what we had explore. 

So I had to leave, 

to find my own way, 

to follow my heart, 

to chase my own day. 

What we had was beautiful... 

You are free to keep all our memories, 

but I am not for you anymore, 

I want you to be happy, 

that we once happened. 

That the universe got to experience a love once so beautiful. 

Hold the love I shared with you in your heart,

and with that lift your head high, my dear.

Author's Note

By The_Ancient_Rock and Amy R.
Another collaboration poem.
A poem about the loss of a loved one, in two different views, people that go separate ways even though they love each other.
I hope everyone can enjoy.
Thank you for the visit and review if you leave any.

Hard to adore a poet. I tried. Hard for two poets to maintain a same table.
"What we had was beautiful...
You are free to keep all our memories,
but I am not for you anymore,
I want you to be happy,
that we once happened"
I understand the above lines. Us, who love to write. We need a beautiful painter. Thank you my friend for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Great work and a nice collaboration ♥️.

But you know... love can never chain someone, love means freedom.
Leaving with the memories of togetherness is like cherry on top.

Soft, sweet words. ♥️
