Between The Pages




My life pressed between the pages
This blood red rose dry with age
Remembering  a melody of long ago
When time played upon life's stage

Oh rose, is your heart steadfast
Do your scarlet lips drip with love
Can you bless me with your eyes
Now that you are gazing from above

I kept you close and called your name
When the days were dark and gray
You will not crumble in my memory
Comforted, I know in my heart you stay

    This captures so beautifully, the poignant cherished memory of someone loved so dearly. How lovely, sad, and heart-wrenching is this poem. One for the classics! :)

    Oh my Barbara, this sounds very much like you lost a child? I can surely identify...One never truly heals, only learns to live with it (and not very well in my case)... Beautiful and exquisite poem of grief you have written here - Tim
