Constance La France Poet Verse

Fathomless

 
Overwhelming

Is the rapture of love,
the grief for all those I hold dear.
O, infinite death, this throbbing aching.

This imprint on the mind,
never-ending pain of memory. 
O, the images, tokens, recollections.

All the dreams that haunt me,
vast paintings of days long past.
O, torment and anguish of love and death. 

Bottomless is the pain,
I fall each night into darkness.
O, I cherish each weeping, stabbing tear.

So,
heartbreaking,

the grief,
but an endless chasm,
rumbling as the deep blue sea,
whispering, murmuring and sighing.

Andrea Dietrich March 18, 2013 at 2:33 PM by the way, I remember you telling me how much you love movies too. It would be so neat to go with you to some movies. I am almost always alone when I go also.

Andrea Dietrich March 18, 2013 at 2:32 PM wow, your title for this form really fits the subject matter as well, Constance. Can abysmal also be of a more upbeat nature? I really enjoyed this. You should see if you can contact marie summer over at Shadowpoetry.com and have your poetry form added to her list of new poetry forms. I have two over there! Well done!

Daver Austin March 18, 2013 at 7:31 AM Good stuff, dear heart. Your picture must belie your age. These are the ramblings of an old woman or old man. I ought to know. At 83 I've had past ramblings myself. Anywho. Love your style and want to read much more of you. daver
