Dying Love

Listen to poem:
Those deep caramelized eyes hidden behind continuous cries Days, weeks, months sitting at his side holding his hand the one who held your heart the one who made you his bride Lost, deeply entranced in memories Nights laying by the fire Captivated by desire Those walks barefoot in the sand Oh those days were grand The soft slow kisses The day you became his Mrs. Making dreams come true All the I love you's I remember Forty years ago when we met sharing an umbrella so I wouldn't get wet You made me laugh and giggle .... at your jokes I brushed your hand and hair with little strokes remember When we got to my flat didn't want to go in You grabbed my hand and pulled me in That kiss was so sweet One we would forever repeat Where has the time gone It seems like only yesterday when we had our first date You were not like anyone I had ever met Such a gentleman, you were great All those late night talks cuddled on the couch That little twinkle in your eye You'll always be my guy I miss those times We'd sit on the porch drinking our tea I'd look at you you'd look at me We'd stare up at the night sky Wishing upon falling stars Picking one out making it ours I still hear our song I still wear your favorite scent I still long for your touch where has all the time went I know our time won't be long I must remain strong those tired baby blues wearily open gently squeezing my hand tears roll down you gaze lovingly at me Another place, another time again it will be we .................. fade to black

Fortunately, when those we love pass away, we still have memories to cling on to, enough to enable us to cope till our turn arrives; there is always hope of reuniting in another place. A lovely and touching poem + the added bonus of hearing the author's clear voice! ~ Regards // paul

Your voice was as gentle and emotive as your writing ... a great sentimental poem with purposeful pausing between lines, Tim. I enjoyed it. My only small suggestion would be in, I think two places, the words on the screen were slightly different than what you were reading ... "one we would never repeat" "we'd stare up at the night sky" ... I'm a bit intimidated myself to read aloud my poetry, as I don't think I have the best voice ... lol. If for contest, best of luck!
