Cry

Thanking Richard with his fabulous help. Rhyming Quatrains and Couplet in 10-count

   Cry.... 


       Crying deeply into heaven's dark night ...

       patches red, seared up from her slender waist.

       Lonely tears cascade from delicate height,

       his scent lingers-on … for, never erased.

       

       Warm, still air; she dreams of their precious time,       

       'til morning light calls softly, to awake. 

       Listening, bells to start their rhythmic chime; 

       hoping, this bright day will cease her heartache.

       

       Softly, bare feet traipse 'cross cold, hardened floors;

       at window's ledge, pulling back more sad tears,

       watching waves rush to past's deserted shores;

       their lives entwined ~~ oh, for so many years!

       

       With no tears left, scanning morn's aqua sky ...

       pulse-beats quicken at mere thoughts of a sound.

       Recalling hurt of his final goodbye;

       in changing heart, is her love back around?

       

       No, 'tis not him, only feelings she keeps.      

       Upon their bed she throws herself ~ and weeps!

The hurt here is palpable and leaves the reader wondering what the cause of the sustained anguish might be; the death of a spouse perhaps? We do ascertain that the relationship was sustained for " so many years" so naturally we deduce that the depth of feeling was mutual. But we are left with the sense that the object of pain and desire might be "back around" leading us to think of a broken relationship or a ghost perhaps. This was an intriguing write. Thank you for sharing.

The emotions can be felt in every line of this poem. Anyone who has ever lost love - for whatever reason - should be able to relate to this poem, Lisa. Expressed poetically, and with feeling!

Hello Lisa,
I thought I had reviewed this, but apparently not.
Upon re-reading it, I am struck again by how beautifully written it is! The images flow gently and sadly from your words, phrasing and meter, which all reinforce the story of love lost. A wonderful, emotional poem!
