Glorious Love

Time has shewn his face, but free
A date the waiting soul to be.

Upon thy bed he lay barbed to the sky
She wonders if it's time to say goodbye. 

His finger folds a curl on her hand
It's if as though both two should understand. 

One last look his eyes bid to a view
Her loving face he'll miss by morning dew.

Sleep my love the whispering voice he hears
And finally with eyes closed, life disappears.

Dear Ray, a deeply emotive and intimate physical portrayal of the last moments of a "glorious love". Sadly, the beautiful Earthly romance between the two comes to an end with his demise. Your poignant, tender poem depicts this love as a potent force till his last breath, yet this exquisite love seems a transcendent love that I feel will have no end. An eternal romance that lives on beyond. A brilliant piece, my friend. Warmest wishes for a happy new year filled with poetic inspiration.. ~Susan

A stirring and comforting tribute to a love till the final whistle blows - soft and tender (no sugar-coated sentiments here). Well penned in rhyming couplets that draw it all together, Ray.
