Bittersweet, Former Exultations

Bittersweet, Former Exultations We met, in yesterdays, we long held dear Once found our hearts leaped; Great times, golden moments so clear, sweet harvests were reaped. An April day, blue sky sang out loud Walking we, sang in tune; Our love became deep and so proud, Approaching the month of June. Now look back, upon our sad separation And we find, dreams can die; Bittersweet, former exultations, asking was our love a lie? Upon our love's loss, angels did cry Past life, in its sanitation; Happy times, grew by leaps and bounds, Was it all just imagination? R.J. Lindley Feb.3rd, 1987 --------------------- --------------------- "We met(on) an April day (and) now look back, upon our love's loss" . Craters fill the grounds we played Hearts torn and far away we toss But what if, in love, we had stayed? Note- Presented as was written. Have no clue were I was taking it or even if it was finished.Seems the poem is the answer to the stanza written after my name and date written. Just too long ago to remember. Was in a whiskey fog maybe back then. lol

Excellently done, Robert. I can appreciate some of the feelings perhaps more than others can, as I have had that love and separation. You have expressed more than you know.
