Debra Squyres Poet Free verse

Love Bonds

True love is never taken to the grave
Death, though the final blow to all living kind,
Never takes with it the heart of the living

 When     “Death”      calls
                    A life journey    “ends”       replaced by memories      
            For loved ones        “a”         thread to hold onto
       A link to help make the      “life”        of those left behind bearable
     For the loving spouse this is      “not”      always where the journey ends
      Their heart remains still        “a”          part of the missing whole
       The living        “relationship”        only severed

Debra Squyres February 8, 2012 at 1:44 PM Not to quibble...but I've never known of an emotion being taken to the grave lol but, what an interesting concept for a poem. hmmm Thanks for dropping by !!

Anne Rutherford January 18, 2012 at 7:32 AM Debra , you hit it right on with this poem.Yesterday was two months since my husband died and it's harder now the that sad day.Bareable line says it all. You have an insight not most people get !!!! Anne. Debra Squyres January 18, 2012 at 8:13 AM Dear Anne...my heart goes out to you, and I know this hits home. It still hits home to me and it's been almost 10 yrs. Perhaps in the future this can be set aside for something more, something different, someone special that comes along. I wish it and pray it for you and myself !! God Bless !!!
