Amour, I Will Ease Your Pain

"Amor, amor, amor This word so sweet that I repeat Means I have adored you Amor, amor, my love Will you deny this heart that I have placed before you?" Quote from DEAN MARTIN song- AMOR Inspired by the French movie “Amour” which has won string of Awards Where do you have the pain Amour? Tell me where it aches See I am right beside you my love Oh ......how... do I ease your pain Your hands are still so soft Shall I tell you a story my sweet heart Listen it will wipe your pain “When I was around ten...... I was sent to a holiday camp My mom and I had a secret pact If I like the place to draw flowers, If I don’t to draw stars So my post cards are full of stars...... See your pain is gone now My sweet! Do you feel my kiss? I will ease your pain forever...... M m mm.......... Please forgive me Dear God I cannot bear to see her suffering? I cannot bear any more....... I have bought flowers to decorate her body And it will give her a nice fragrance There, I hear her washing the dishes She has come to take me too Yes, I will put on the coat No, I haven’t forgotten my shoes With My Amour I am going too...

I would change the form to lyric and enter it into Anne Currins contest. This is an excellent poem and should do very well. To me it feels like a song.

I saw this movie, and I love your theme and how you saw the love he had by putting her out of her misery. I think hardly anyone will understand what happened in the middle of your poem because hardly anyone I know has ever seen the movie. But it is a VERY deep and tragic movie and you have captured well the essence of it.

Yes I agree. You need to see the movie to understand this poem. See that is the essence, telling the story, he wanted her to take her mind off from the agony, and he knows how she likes to hear his stories, I wanted to write about his dream too , That is how he got the idea. but decided against it as it would make the poem too long. Thanks for your comments Andrea
