Notes About The Poem

~Release~

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

Poem by Rick Parise which was for Inspiration for the contest

Lost Without You

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

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!
