Notes About The Poem

Love In Main Road

The fulgent grace of your soul dazzles.
A tenuous foothold of a fragile love.
How could you love me so ardently?
Consider me treacherous and dreary.
A fierce fire burns my soul.
A life unquiet, never submissive.

Your gentle placid nature shines.
Quietly you ask: "Why do you love me?"
I hedge, cough, lower my head,
And retort: "How do you love me?"
She is sage, subtle and shrewd.
"As much as you allow me to."

My heart will wear the heaviness for years.
In lady like manner, she leaves,
never looks back, tall and graceful,
she walks down the main street
like a grand dame, much to my regret.
I deserve no better until I learn
the meaning of true love.

Sally Eslinger January 5, 2023 at 5:06 PM Victor! Hi! This vivid, imagist scene pulled me right in. I felt like a voyeur standing in a recessed doorway to see and overhear the scene between the two of you…. This had a mature, master’s tension in its build up that added dimension to a simplier take on a new affair. Much enjoyed! New Year hugs, sally

Sotto Poet January 4, 2023 at 1:38 PM A heartbreaking tale of love and farewell, Victor. However, as long as we take responsibility for our actions and grow from our experiences, we may make up for our missteps. On the other hand, I really enjoy the way you conveyed the story. A fave for me for its depth and touching diction.

Eve Roper January 4, 2023 at 10:08 AM "to love and never love again", We sometimes don't realize how we are until to late. Great write my friend.

Elizabeth Mccann January 3, 2023 at 1:26 PM We keep learning that not doing can be as bad as what we fear from doing! Really touching expression of that, Victor! Elizabeth
