For loving memory

she must depart

forever lovely

forever apart

My lilac of beauty

white satin dream

in solitude and rain drops

forever it seems

My grief is so raw like a cancer eating away at my soul … questions no one can answer Life will continue without you, this aching heart will keep beating although we are apart Contest 8 line poem Contest Sponsored by Rick Parise 11-08-17

I don't know if the contest has been judged yet, but what I do know is that your poetry I find is inspiring me. Hope you did, or will do well in the contest!
