Viv Wigley Poet Verse

Alone

Any hopes that I had
about you coming back
are laid gently to rest
as hand in hand you walk
at ease with each other
all that past we had shared
ashes now just ashes

Daniel Turner August 10, 2016 at 7:27 AM I suppose the hardest thing in life is to admit failure, especially in a relationship. Extremely painful. It's nice to see your serious side Viv. Really enjoyed the sad read from you. Peace mate. Viv Wigley August 10, 2016 at 11:45 PM Cheers, Daniel, a bit of broken heart from a good while back. Regards, Viv

Joanna Daniel August 10, 2016 at 2:29 AM This is a lovely write, Viv...so much said in few words...difficult form, but I can see a winner:) Viv Wigley August 10, 2016 at 11:46 PM Thanks Jo, these forms really make one work. Viv

Connie Marcum Wong August 10, 2016 at 2:11 AM A serious one from you Viv. Sometimes those feelings come rushing back. A song or scent or scene turns the mind abruptly backward. This is sad but very lovely Viv. Most of us have been there. ; ) 7 Viv Wigley August 10, 2016 at 11:47 PM Indeed they do, Connie. In this case the song would be 'run to you' by Bryan Adams, the scene would be Jersey, the scent Avon Wild Linen. Viv x

Jan Allison August 10, 2016 at 12:39 AM Oh Mr Viv this is so sad to know there is no chance of rekindling a relationship. Good luck in the contest:-) hugs Jan xx Viv Wigley August 10, 2016 at 12:58 AM Hi Jan, fortunately this is about a past relationship, many moons ago. I promise to be more upbeat in future, Viv x
