Glorious Love

Time has shewn his face, but free A date the waiting soul to be. Upon thy bed he lay barbed to the sky She wonders if it's time to say goodbye. His finger folds a curl on her hand It's if as though both two should understand. One last look his eyes bid to a view Her loving face he'll miss by morning dew. Sleep my love the whispering voice he hears And finally with eyes closed, life disappears.

Dear Ray, a deeply emotive and intimate physical portrayal of the last moments of a "glorious love". Sadly, the beautiful Earthly romance between the two comes to an end with his demise. Your poignant, tender poem depicts this love as a potent force till his last breath, yet this exquisite love seems a transcendent love that I feel will have no end. An eternal romance that lives on beyond. A brilliant piece, my friend. Warmest wishes for a happy new year filled with poetic inspiration.. ~Susan

A stirring and comforting tribute to a love till the final whistle blows - soft and tender (no sugar-coated sentiments here). Well penned in rhyming couplets that draw it all together, Ray.

TY Suzett! I was inspired by something I had read. I have trouble sugar coating anything so... ??
