Love Truly Lost, Forever Vanishes

Love Truly Lost, Forever Vanishes With you gone, orange sun sets to die don't ask me silly questions why Is it not enough that I bled for your touch never asking for joy too much That I once silently sat watching you sleeping every heartbeat reassuring me that you live! Your love secrets, I gathered into my safe keeping, giving you all I ever had to give! With you gone the earth sits barren and crying, bitter cry so very dark and shrill Dark clouds descend- Announcing our love dying, as fate hurried to hand me the bill Surely you know I'll never dare to pay, for sadness, heartache and misery so very deep You sent silence- nothing left to say, then walked away knowing my spirit would weep! A new day has now arrived to gently recast to another, the love you promised to forever last. Robert J. Lindley Date, long ago..

Hello Robert, This one is truly sad and laden with much emotion. Love is that many-sided emotion that all of us contend with at one-time or another during our respective lifetimes. Brilliantly written and executed perfectly Robert!! A Super Seven!! Best Always, Gary

The heartache of grief leaves a deep wound, Robert. Beautifully sad, but like you say tomorrow is a new day. I enjoyed the read. I'm so used to reading your lovely sonnets. Great rhyme with meaning.
