Your love has died and what am I to do but shroud my heart with mournful requiem how can I live without the joy I knew this death my heart to hell will now condemn The subtle signs of sickness plain to see your kiss perfunctory, as your embrace no longer did you breathe and live for me the trace of passion did not grace your face I chanted mantra of your love divine as searing hands of want engulfed my frame but making love no longer feels sublime in throes of pain not pleasure bursts your name Your love has died and I have died to love My only source of solace lies above Eileen Manassian

It wouldn't be love if there was no pain my little Desrt Orchid, I'm sure most have been through these emotions you so beautifully describe here. Take care, Richard

I can feel the hurt in this wondrous sonnet! You connect us to that emotion that we all at some level fear.
