Void

people and loved ones move on in life leaving behind broken hearts and unfulfilled promises ..

and they leave, creating a void forever
the ones who had vouched of letting go never
gone is the symphony of the perfect octave
a black rose for what once was; on the solitary grave..

I try to think of death as a passing on, rather than passing away from us. It makes me feel less lost forever. Never is a long time, and I hope my way of thinking, keeps them in my heart for ever. The 3rd line is timeless. What once was, will always be safely in our heart.

Thank you for these beautiful words.

Smiling at you

To lose, love and lose........leaves a void that only a pure soul can fill........and time, such a very sad piece of a broken heart.......but you will write, and you will survive because I will have it no other way.........

a great close to a moving piece

[emmajoy]

sadness dwells in a lonely place and can only be comforted by an urge to be part of what Life meant it to be ..

a tragic poem, a surrendering of breath and dreams

Beautiful photo and words. Some voids cannot be filled till we join in the last journey. A excellent poem.
