Anna-Marie Docherty Poet Free verse

Reminiscence

Recollecting
I cherish the flower
I salvaged 
From the table
That night

The flow of wine
Gentle music
Romance
The two of us
Holding hands

How could I 
Have known
You'd be gone
That tragedy 
Would strike

On the phone
You talked 
To me of love
Driving home 
That night

Now I'm to blame
We broke the law
For love
You having 
Lost your life

A lone
Treasured flower
I cling to 
Now I'll never
Be your wife

Keith Bickerstaffe May 5, 2009 at 3:41 AM Sad and tragic... the death of a loved one brings guilt enough. The cause of death is not your fault... sometimes circumstances rule, regardless of what we may think we did, or did not do... God bless, Keith

John Rhinem April 17, 2009 at 5:53 PM Yes, this seems to sadly be the same lost "Love," which I read about within my first heartbreaking write of "Yours" earlier...."My Heart Sincerely and Deeply Goes Out To 'You Dear Anna Marie~With Love Always, John!!!":):)~Lets find a happier one....
