Melancholy

Those smiles bloomed, blossomed fawned As tears now wander Upon hearts squander Love's grave has securely, purely, spawned We kissed aflutter and danced in shimmer And my hands apprised But now glanced disguised For the shadows glare dolour and dimmer

Well written! The words are so ornamental and they really bring out the theme of melancholy with a fragrance of beauty. Glad I discovered your list of poetry. Will be reading some more. Always, Laura

First good poem I read today on this page. Great rhytm great imagery, but the title doesn't justify the atmosphere of the poem, or perhaps that was your intent, good job anyway.
