Love's Rhyme

The roof I see has fallen in …
The window panes all broke
But I know between its’ walls
‘t was Love inside we spoke

Its’ paint is cracked and faded
It’s foundation is askew
But … doesn’t match my memory
Of when our love was new

Within its’ walls time stood still
When I looked upon your face
But …Time and fate took its’ toll
And our fall away from grace.

The house will never see repair
And Time will not re-wind
And so I must recall
Former visions of my mind

We both have since found others
With whom to spend our time
Now we but remember:
Once we shared Love’s Rhyme

This is a great poem of the memories of a love once had. I do like the correlation between the house and the love that will never see repair. Very well written, The rhyme and meter are excellent, Jack. Your friend Robert.

Thank you, Robert. In Life things can become broken, sometimes repaired, but if not Life demands that we move forward with the chance for a healing date sometime in the future. Jack C

Thank you, Anne, for you kind words. I have a dear acquaintance who traced her ancestry back to the island of Loften in Norway, where her grt grandfather was born, He, in the 1800s built a historic bridge in my hometown. It is indeed, a small world. Jack C
