21. A Love That's Forever
I love you.
I love you too, until the casket closes.
But when your casket closes,
Where should my love then go?
I love you.
I love you too, until the casket closes.
But when your casket closes,
Where should my love then go?

Time heals all wounds they say,
but I have one that never goes away.
The loss of you has left a spot
deep in my heart that time forgot.

Mornings in the summer
Autumn's evening mist
Snowflakes on my window
Solitude exists
Alone in my darkness I still see your face,
sometimes your presence and your warm embrace.
I look 'round the house; it's calling your name,
but nothing I see here quite feels the same.
I left a simple rose today.
I laid it down upon your grave.
Then memories came rushing - from the past,
of our lives together; we said it would last.
These days, that moment haunts me,
That first moment we met.
You were a vision from the heavens
That I never would forget.
Oh Ann, my heart goes out to you. I can only imagine the pain you must be in. Having a lifelong love is such a blessing but watching them be sick would be a torture. I feel stupid trying to...
Together for over fifty years,
times of laughter and of tears.
I fell in love with all his charms,
could dance forever in his arms.
I hope and pray you do indeed get at least 50 years with your other half.
Thank you for your lovely comment about my writing. It means a great deal. Very best wishes, Ann.
You're not here
For me to see
My heart longs for
The day to be
I tell myself I need
to take baby steps
beginning with his shoes.
Plastic bag in hand I enter the closet
Luann:
First of all I'm so sorry for the loss of your life partner. I can only imagine how difficult that would be! I do have to tell you that very few poems have transported me to a scene...
Famous Poem
A loose limb hangs upon a pine three log-lengths from the ground,
A norway tumbles with a whine and shakes the woods around.
The loose limb plunges from its place and zigzags down below;
And Jack is lying on his face—there's red upon the snow.
