Notes About The Poem

Entry for Refrains in 8 Poetry Contest: Sponsored by: Joseph May     

 

 

Listen to poem:

Some of you does yet remain

Now, it is time for us to part
I think of you, my dearest heart;
in that, my sanity sustain;
for some of you does yet remain. 

I’ll take your now cold hand in mine
and while, once more, they do entwine;
soft whisper all my vows again
for some of you does yet remain.

When only ashes I have left;
I will forgive the burning theft
and so forbear my ugly pain 
for some of you does yet remain.

I’ll nightly rest my weary head
and dream within our marriage bed
then sleep where lovers often lain;
for some of you does yet remain.

Congrats on your win, Terry. Not much is as empty as a previously shared double bed suddenly becoming that empty bed you always wanted to stretch out in.
