Lost Letters Are Found

In her soft, calloused hand, she holds the unwritten letters, As her ears ring, with unheard love songs, and tender words unspoken His shallow poems of love so deep, in sweet bitterness resounds And hover above her, like snakes on the ground She had been so careless with each cautious step But now, he then revealed too many secrets kept She had been kept in the dark, that shined with unseen visions And now was her time to make undecided conclusions Her dry eyes weep gladly, with tears of such sorrow She hopes for sweet raindrops with clear skies tomorrow Her memory is keen with passion's forgotten voices She has learned new wisdom now...taught with reckless choices The sadness she suffers, displayed with her smile Never was such love that is here for awhile As their love dwindled down to the stars in the sky She had asked for the truth, and would wait for the lie What's been here all along, did not happen at all In tomorrow's sweet springtime, that came with yesterday's fall All his letters tossed away, lie bundled here before her With the cold of the summer, flies the warm winter's air Although the loss does not hurt, the pain crushes severely And now her clouded eyes can see it all, so dimly, yet so clearly _____________________ OXYMORON CONTEST

Carrie - very clever. Your oxymorons have me spinning in place. I am going to hate loving this poem because it hurts my head being battered around like that. I think you struck out and hit a home run with this one. Good luck in the contest. Joe
