Why Love Never Again

Why Love Never Again Tears reach into my heart and pull me down to fever Raw feelings cause trembling reaching It starts within the bones of marrow emptiness I draw back my bow with fire from my soul to tip Release the arrow in the quicksand that has become me And send my sweet love off Just off the shore in a little funeral raft of straw and wood Incendiary baron world surrounds us With lighted flame to burn my loves last being Last remains, remnants of a passion that brings me lower Sorrow no man needs to know She burns down then sinks beneath the somber waves Gray are the ashes floating with all lost hope Caused from some disease that caused this fracturous unfolding A bringing of this horrible grief I call my own I call it mine to the end of time and cry As she burns in dawn of day God gave me eyes to watch her slowly go I just don’t know why life so beautiful must end Why love why never again I let her go

A very powerful piece-Death is brutal, letting go comes in waves-slowly, very slowly."...quicksand that has become me" I can relate-it felt like that when I grieved my brothers death. love this line. My heart breaks for you. :-)

Hi Christine, I am so sorry to hear the sad news about your brother. The vacuum of that special life and person, that hole in your heart can never be filled in. I will pray for you and your family. Take care. Earl

Good morning Christine, Thank you so much for your interest. Though most of my close family members are deceased, I have no deaths right now to deal with. This is simply a sad poem with a life and death of its own. Thank you for your kind words. Have a great day. Take care. Earl
