Wayne Riley Poet Free verse

So Shall It Be In the End

What choice has bittersweet despair,
A dying rose,
An empty chair.
Shall I then grieve and weep for thee
And temper broken heart and soul
So I can cherish one more gaze
Of happiness, of summer days
And bristle with abiding love
Of life cast now in shade and brook,
This ebb which pains with force and fate
United soon through heavens gate.

Jiril Clemons December 21, 2014 at 6:47 PM Amazing Piece. Wayne. Such imagery in few word poetic words, no more we're needed. The metaphoric imagery really brought to life the concept of bittersweet moments. Enjoyable work overall. Check out some of my poems, might find some you like. Peace.
