Bottle of Rain

The end of one love is the beginning of another.

I've come to bury the last of love

beneath this willow tree

In the deep forest I went

where no one else could see

___________________________

Held within this bottle of rain

are the tears I cried for her

The many nights I couldn't sleep

as I dreamed of how we were

___________________________

I'll place on it no pictures

spin thrice to forget the way

Save in me the pain she flowered

leave the dark for light of day

___________________________

I'll never visit her again

forever play all day in the sun

But night when no one else is there

I'll cry of her as the one

 

Tate

Yes Virginia I must have a heart. I think it's broken

[Shelly Braen]

Such quiet and sorrowful pictures you paint. I feel as if I walk through your pain with you and feel the breeze within the willow you buried her under. Such a shattered heart makes everything so quiet, no? Such a strong piece, with the focus of a single journey, as a tear from eye to ground. I weep with you.

[Woody]

superb! so tender and so sad. beautiful choice of the song. an old favourite of mine.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you Woody so nice of you to say By the way today is david lewis pagets 70th birthday and he is but 3 short of a lifetime goal of 1000 poems

great news! thank you for the heads up. I'll drop him a line.
I don't have the slightest doubt that he'll easily reach his goal and start on his second "thousand".

As sad as this poem is, there's tremendous beauty in it. Such a fabulous poem. There's so much inflection underneath the words, I myself felt a bit of heartache for the writer.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you B Thom it is not always easy to pour out a heart to a page

[BThomvanWart]

That's very true. You're welcome.

[Frieda P]

Awh, made me wanna cry Tate....we never forget the 'one' do we? Touching, yes you have a heart, who knew? haha

Frieda the one is the person by which we measure all others and find we are wanting thank you.

[Frieda P]
