So It Goes

So it goes

Easy to pen poetry in the light of day
much more for the eye to see 
washed away her shadow of night
anyway, 

yeah..,
try and explain it to my heart 
that longs for you.. 
wills it to..
go dark.

Easy to land long strokes
smooth movement in pen's pace
knows it's almost time
to trace fine lines of a face

I have to hold it in 
still too bright, 
stretch my neck 
feelin onset
of your twilight..

So easy writing by candle's glow
from one who knows
how to separate
                      thorn from rose.

So it goes

I can feel the emotion come through this one. I wonder if she was a thorn or a rose or a mixture. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

A sad but beautiful verse, which triumphs in his finding the strength to accept that it's over. Great writing, Richard.

A dialogue to reflect on my friend. Many will relate. Great ending: from one who knows how to separate thorn from rose. So it goes

The darkest of night that hides a love, a star, the moon, yet strong enough to separate the thorn the rose. With such depth is how i read this, Richard.
