Lost Portraits

I painted portraits of you in my heart
till' dark clouds allowed pouring rain to fall
washed away paintings hung that fell apart
to leave my heart's chamber an empty hall
my love for you held portraits that I hung
now a darker place with its vacant walls
where my love's dust becomes a wormwood dung
when love died slowly in pain-filled thralls
this chamber, this hall, now a silent place
that's shrouded by a darkness of morass
when vanished portraits left a lonely space
where doors are closed and no one may trespass
For all my painted portraits I will weep
When I find them in my dreams when I sleep

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 5/24/2024 6:34:00 AM Dear Frederic, What a poignant expression of loss and heartache. I loved how the imagery of washed-away paintings and empty chambers speaks volumes about the emptiness left behind when love fades. Your words evoke a sense of longing and sorrow. What a heartfelt piece—it's a beautiful testament to the power of love and its aftermath. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

The lost portraits of lost love exquisitely expressed with rich imagery and lovelorn metaphors as only you can do with masterful poetic strokes created with your soulful pen. A soul striking couplet a fine finish for a very emotive piece. Warmest wishes, dear Frederic.. ~Susan
