Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme Royal

My Love

My love is gone, but he has not gone far.
I see his golden locks in waves of wheat,
the blaze of his blue eyes in each bright star;
in dewy blooms of red, his lips so sweet;
his smile in morning sun I rise to greet.
Oh, whether it be day or night, I swear
I see my wondrous lover everywhere!

His scent is with me too, for I inhale
him as I walk through woods of tall pine trees.
I taste him in fresh rain, and I can tell
that he is near me when a summer breeze
caresses me; my mind can be at ease!
For though he’s gone, I know my love will be
In beauty evermore surrounding me.

Andrew Crisci March 27, 2014 at 12:05 PM My big congratulations on your first place, Andrea! Your tribute to your sweetheart echoes with bittersweetness...you must have loved him very deeply. I take the liberty to quote some lines from one of my poems," The truest love can never end and through loss: we realize the immensity of devotion. " Thank you for your comments. Best Wishes, Andrew. Andrea Dietrich March 27, 2014 at 7:35 PM not sure you will read this, Andrew, but it's totally fictional. I have not lost anyone like this in my life. I just imagined having such a great love that even after death, I would see him in everything!
