She

She A prison of love's enduring embrace I taste her lips, I see her face And span the gulf of space and time to the Spring of Joy when she was mine. The Thief of Time's measured grain of sand Bound by Destiny's design and plan Her path led her away from me The one who will always remain...she And now Winter's Wind claims dwindling days My time ascribed on clouds and haze And in my heart a love will always be The one I love, that one is she. I wrote this after reconnecting with my first love.....that spans 50 years

RICHARDS C, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
