Jeanne Mcgee Poet Rhyme

Beautiful Sadness

"Walking alone is not difficult, but when we have walked a mile worth a thousand years with someone, then coming back alone is what is difficult."    Faraaz Kazi


She left home full of bright promises and gifts
Building dreams out of twinkling stars and rainbows
But sadness over took her, waking to grey clouds of mists
She lost her way, stumbling blindly full of woes

Then you caught her in her spiral as she hit the ground
Scraped knees and bruised mind careening
Your kisses healed her broken spirit, lifted her around
Your love weaved golden threads, gleaming

A path together woven against her tortured tears
Years stretch a tapestry of tempest against gentle heart
But the mist returned in dark swirls to claim her fears
Now alone he walks through broken dreams, apart

                love bridges darkness
            a lovers light melts the night
                now love walks alone

Gershon Wolf July 17, 2019 at 5:20 PM Very well penned, Jeanne. I like the way you nixed the happy ending, but in a melancholy, not a mean, way. Great entry for the contest, methinks. Best wishes, Gershon Jeanne Mcgee July 17, 2019 at 6:46 PM Thank you for the encouraging words Gershon!

Caren Krutsinger July 17, 2019 at 6:17 AM The perfect name for this poem which is sure to capture Constance's interest. She is all about romantic, dreamy story-poems with love and imagery. Well done indeed! Good luck in the contest, Jeanne. Jeanne Mcgee July 17, 2019 at 8:22 AM Isn't it amazing what can come out of a pen when the mind is let loose? I thought I was going in a different direction and then this! I'm happy to know she may like it too. Thanks.
