Love's Rain Falls

For. Beautiful Beth my granddaughter

ma petite fleur
in darkest of nights
i hear your tears

jack boots trample
the spring flowers of
your heart

your sobs are my pain
your broken chains
touch the core of me

love can be cruel
striking with a serrated knife
you bleed butcher red

for the first time
and unlikely the last
love's rain falls

love's rain falls

Beth is a very lucky young woman indeed .. I am sure she will learn quick, after all, she has an excellent mentor ....................................... it wasn't that many years ago I scribbled something very similar for my own petite fleur, who married this very June :)

How lovely Neville. A family wedding and I bet you did a grand job of giving your daughter away. Ma petite fleur is recovering well from her heartbreak. She now thinks he was a tosser and I am inclined to agree with her :)

Oh that sting of love loss, bring on the tissues, the Ben&Jerry’s, extra large pizza and Molly Ringwald movies and cry. That second and fourth stanza are killer! This is incredible! Love it!

Thank you dear Patricia. I have your book and I am about to get stuck into it's lovely pages. I desperately need some me time after a horrible and busy week. I am so looking forward to having your poetry as company this weekend.

Oh my! that's right you have my book, that may require extra Ben & Jerry's and perhaps a glass of wine or therapy when you are finished LOL Just kidding, I am so grateful you are taking the time to read it and I do hope you enjoy the better of them. thank you Chris and yes Me Time must be honored. Have a beautiful weekend Chris HUGS!

What a concept and what a tribute. Love is never ever easy and this lovely poem encapulates the whole concept so beautifully.

Thank you for your thoughts Ken on a spontaneous write. Have a good week-end.
