Once Love Has Died

Once love has died it cannot be revived Sweet sentiments are sadly laid to rest From memories no pleasure is derived The broken heart is vanquished in its quest Unnurtured love will quickly fade away Much like a wilted rose unquenched of thirst Or flower of the sun cloistered of ray Affections die when they have not been nursed I tried to warn you that my heart was sore My tears a testament of grievous plight You did not hear my plea for something more And now my love is veiled away from sight To resurrect my love is no mean task For miracle of life my heart does ask Eileen Manassian Ghali

How can we appreciate joy if we cannot compare it to sadness. Yes, it is a sad write but a hopeful one. Thanks for your visit. I appreciate it. :)

Miracles happen every day. This is a beautiful sad piece Eileen. How was your Christmas? Is your dad still with you or did he head home already?

Love is a flower. Water its roots, or you'll stick with plastic roses the rest of your life. Fantastic.

Yes, so right. It is easy to wilt and fade..........Plastic roses..........beautiful.........but without scent. Lovely comment, Drake. Thanks for the visit. I've missed you.

Wow, Eileen, the ending is deep. It strikes me in every way. ( This poem made me realize, how much I miss reading your poetry.) Sorry, I haven't been reading much new poems these days. My vacation started one week before Thanksgiving. I even close my restaurant, that way I can enjoy my vacation. However, I do miss being at home, commenting from my computer in hard these days---heheh.. I'm doing most of my commenting from my phone and laptop at times. I am looking forward to reading more this coming year.. So you better watch out with me, when I go on a commenting spree. Like that other night.. LOL... I'm just happy, to be here that is all.. Enjoy your new year.. LUV~ LINDA
