Her matchless spirit sweeps In the shade of her bower I remember the hours We shall meet In this rural retreat Now we will see each other no more One last look what we were before” Pleasure became a pain to him At the sight of people’s screams. +++ January 21, 2015 Form: Rhyme Fifth Place win Contest: Stand By Me
