Our Long Lost Love

Out of the blue I think of you Who is to blame? For loss of flame Our love has gone To a dark dawn I feel the pain Tears down the drain For in the past Our love was vast Now death is near Stop sign to fear I see my gloom I feel the doom We shut the door Live in the core Love is now hard We build the barred The sad is deep For now, we weep We take the pills To stop the ills No love for hire No more the fire Blind eyes that speak Mad mind so bleak Take back the strain Ease off the brain Come back to me That I may plea Your love be mine To this, we dine. 4 words per line all 1 syllable each. So 4 syllables per line. 32 line poem, so in total 128 words. Rhyme poem aabb Jan.30.2018 128 words Sponsored by: Silent One

A wonderfully expressive sad poem of loss Winged Warrior. Beautifully written with great rhythm and rhymes - but I wouldn't expect anything less of course :)) Congratulations on your excellent win. I love the classic 'Not In Love' - lovely nostalgia from my mid teens - thanks for bringing sweet memories... :)) ~Susan

I love what you did with the prompt, ^WW^. This is very nice. I found it very difficult to write "seriously" in this form and could only come up with something humorous and not nearly as profound. This reads like a winner.
