Michael Degenhardt Poet Rhyme

Remnants

Dried up tears, coat the surface of my face
Leaving a glow, that can never be replaced
Forever gone, my heart just holds the trace 
Of love… her love

Body worn, it sought her day and night
Heaven knows, I put up one hell of a fight
Even though, I lack now morning light
I miss the love…her love

Robin L. Gass February 5, 2009 at 6:42 AM This is a sad and tenderly written piece that I think many can relate to. The emotion of this piece is real. The ending lines in both stanzas are perfect. Love, Robin

Corinne Curcio February 5, 2009 at 5:45 AM Very sad indeed. I really like the rhythm of the piece, Michael.

Frank F. Atanacio February 5, 2009 at 5:21 AM wow-- I feel for him-- love is gone-- or it isn't, because he missses loving her or having her love him either way-- in this missing love poem--Love is strong :)
