Constance La France Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Oh, My Beloved

 "From deep within my heart I always catch
the scent of my Beloved. How can I help but follow that fragrance?"  
  
                                                               Quote By _ Rumi 

The day I found love I do not regret _
   It was in the Spring when the flowers bloom
   And then, like a sweet dream you were my groom
It was our life destiny that we met:
Those romantic days I will not forget,
   Oh, I can still smell your scent in our room
   And yes, we were planning a baby boom
Still recall us walking-   as the sunset.

Now, in my dreams I call for you in vain,
   God had a plan my love so up you flew:
My heart is shattered and I am in pain,
   but still feel you in the night and morn' dew,
Though dark death has taken you up above,
You will forever be my one true love.

L Milton Hankins July 18, 2022 at 5:20 PM This is beautifully written, Constance. I hope you will re-classify it as the sonnet it is after the contest. We don't see that rhyme scheme very often. I loved it.
