End of the Road

LOST SOUVENIRS Your distant gaze flits, nearly bare Like a mist that smothers the road Windblown by chill; here, everywhere A promise ending as breaths explode My heart trickles as dew submits To a quivering that grieves, For our tattered love now wilts As sullen face of moon retrieves. Oh, cloudbursts wrap hours’ deep pining, Traces of ardor become one; And souvenirs no longer bring The charmed laughter and its reason. 1/7/2017 Nicola Byrne's Poet's Choice- End Of The Road, Just Friends

Loved this Nette. The melancholy of lost love with a wonderful metaphoric title.

Very intensely passionate poem, Nette. A poet's poem. The writing, the flow, the heart torn message ... put them all together, a masterfully penned poem. Excellent prose, dear. Have a blessed new year. Love and joy to you and yours.

There is a song that says "at least leave me enough love to hold in the palm of my hands" your poem made me think of it

Nette, I can feel the sadness and the loss in this poem but once again, like everything else I have read by you, it is so beautifully written that even in the sadness your words seem to sing from the screen. You are an amazing poet.
