Opportunity Lost

Happiness Exciting, respecting, valuing, Dreams of a lasting and satisfying love Until the day, distracted he crossed a lonely street, Unexpected mad driver hit my love and Mangled he slowly died. Nightmare. Just a scribble. Not exactly a diamante. My apologies.

So romantic, so happy so excited, Tragedy came quick and thereafter despair and grief. This poem was wonderfully crafted and created, Hugs and blessings, Victor,

A transition change from top to bottom. Those nightmares do rune your emotions and sometimes speed up the heart.

That's terrible Victor. Anyway, your love poems are unbelievable, even the tragic ones.

Whoa!! Creative and very unexpected ending. Here recently a woman up in the big city of Atlanta was hit by a car on what we call an expressway and when she fell onto the road then of course she was hit by several cars before someone finally stopped and got help but totally too late for her. I was wondering why in the world was she out there anyway. I enjoyed reading this one, Sara K

Oh my goodness sh this is an emotive poem! If it is true my heart goes out to you for your loss dear poet! Hugs never apologize for your art! Art is in itself perfect especially when we as poets see imperfections that usually no one else notices.

Actually I lost a love of my life in a similar manner. One is never the same afterwards. Death by proxy. Well said, Victor. If this is an actual tragedy in your life, heaven forbid, but you are not alone in your hurt. There are many, I would image, of us out here. One never knows. Blessings my friend.

This is sad. Death can be tragic. Terrible way to go.

Sad. It happens in life. Love is a gift, sometimes for a short time, but giving to another.

Dreams get shattered when we face with an accident. Careless driving and road rage can destroy many lives. Our fate can take a twist anytime. Well written short poem, dear Victor.
