Love Without Hope

Love without hope, is a rose without fragrance
Random musical notes, that have no cadence
An extinguished candle, by an unpromising wind
Where the heart panhandles, to a disheartening whim

Susan Palli commented she could feel the emptiness. Quite an apt observation, and one with which I must agree. Hauntingly beautiful.

Congratulations Daniel on your win in Sara's contest," Love without hope. " I love the rhyme and rhythm in your lines. You describe well the mood and feeling of a faded love. I am entering Cathy's contest with the poem you have commented on today. Thank you for your advice and encouragement. It is much appreciated. Enjoy your evening, my friend.
