Poem
AT THE FINAL GOODBYE The congregation mingled within the silent stone slabs of their ancestors, a final goodbye to yet another destined to leave this place. Yet to one, in this his profound sorrow an enchanting moment. He craved! With a soul sensitive and true to touch a living memory, his lips again to caress her symbolic smile. His need to glance upon her northern eyes of blue, stroke her flowing “Celtic Flame” That, while strolling in lanes of love rebelled against the moorland breeze. He desired to paint this memory of that moment the very first day they met, bestow in this a silent tribute to the emotions within their secrets, those, no one else could ever share! first posted 2nd may 2010 IN RESPONSE TO MY FIRST POEM Our secrets to keep forever The two of us only will share, This my darling is my promise To you so far away down there. Oh yes I can hear and see you From this my place far up above, I listen to your sweet whisper See us in your portrait of our love. Alas ‘tis only my bare bones That lay idle beneath your feet, Leaving everything about me In your memory this my treat. Our precious although short moments Forever lives on in my soul, Until one day yet far away The final end your earthly role. Then once again true love will meet Your need to touch my Celtic Flame, Mine to gaze upon eyes of green Our lips passionate wild untame! 28th Sept 2015 © Harry J Horsman 2015
