Love's Death

Love's Death Held by the claws of sorrow, To weep through sabre eyes, Beckoning hope tomorrow, In wishful thought she cries. Once I was your flower bright, Eyes that never wayward gazed, Lips that shied all other knights, A Heart of silk that never fades. I cradle memories in my eyes, A candle flickers in the wind, Upon my shoulder, alone to die, Voices whispering in the wind. 'Til Loves death blows our candle out.

Enjoy your rhymes; you used them effectively in creating the bleak mood that comes with 'love's death.' Your poem was sincere and heartfelt. I especially liked: Once I was your flower bright, Eyes that never wayward gazed, I felt twinges of sadness as I read each line. Well done, Daniel! Have a splendid evening, your poetess friend, Sara
