Nothing To Share

Desperate my heart when I long for you
In unknown realms remembering your face
As timeless tears fall, emotions are blue
From days and nights of love's fleeting embrace
My heart will forever wander alone
Tightly tethered to a life that has gone
Taken in the night with nary a moan
Only the quiet of death's breaking bond
To find your beauty floating among stars
With my dreams remembered which came in moonlight
When we danced with strings from Spanish Guitars
And cradled in arms of lover's delight
Silence is haunting with empty despair
No room to love again, nothing to share

Susan Ashley Date: 3/13/2021 10:10:00 AM Dearest Frederic, the poignant purity, beauty and silky power of your emotional pen haunts the saddest depths of my heart's imagination. Every line to be embraced in tender mourning. Exquisite expression of the pain of death and lost love. The melancholy musical accompaniment is as if the notes were plucked with tears. Warmest wishes always, dear poet, dear friend.. ~Susan Login to Reply Frederic Parker Date: 3/13/2021 1:27:00 PM thank you dear poet,dear friend, very nice to hear from you again...yes the music inspired the poem...your poetry has been missed
