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

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.

I have to be honest I wasn't going to read this poem but the title intrigued me. I'm glad I did. My favorite part was " Save in me the pain she flowered ,Leave the dark for the light of day " . Success , well done ...what else can I say.

"leave the dark for light of day" nicely chosen words. Showing a conscious choice to move on. As we all must.
