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 3/13/21

Frederic, Gripping verse in Sonnet and solemn as a chapel prayer or countryside backroad. -Richard

Truly a great sonnet! Every verse great and emotionally deep. These verses are diamonds and gold- " 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 are perfect in my opinion. A fav-- God bless..

Creative winning work that expresses your deep feeling for a love taken in death. It is hard to loose someone we love and the grief is very real. Congrats on this winner. Sara

Oh, Frederic. This is such a lovely tribute, so full of feelings, "with empty despair." Blessings and brighter days ahead for you. I know these feelings well.

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
