The Black Caribbean Sun

7:13 P.M., August 25,1971 : " The Caribbean Sun Died "
12:00 Noon; I said " F0R the Eons of " FOREVER " I Shall LOVE YOU "
                                            " I  D O "
A Life Time, on Earth,  " TOGETHER " for all Eternity :  " YOU my Bride "
The Sky becomes an Ebony ; " RAINBOW "  " Death's TEARS Cried "
                                        " MY L O V E "
FOREVERLASTING " LOVE " the Black Clouds, " Sing OF Death "
Inhale ; " Infinity "  Rip the Nth of " LOVE " from my  " HEART "
                                    " MY  B R E A T H " 
As I watch the Boom, Scrape across the " Princess's  Life "
Insanity, Attacks me : " MY Dear GOD : Did YOU take my Life, MY WIFE?
                                 " MY  E V E R T H I N G "
600 feet "SHE" Plummets; into the Sand ; of the Blue Caribbean Sea
The Sky Screams ; the Earth Breathes It's Last ; as Does MY HEART
                                     " MY  H E A R T "
I Feel YOU Die, I feel " LOVE " , DIE;  " Such PAIN : Such SORROW "
A Cold Lonely Night : Alone Again : the Sunrise Dies " TOMORROW "
                                " WITH  E M O T I O N "
I Cry for a Heart : I LOVED so Dear, Lenore My WIFE : will ALWAYS  "BE"
The Brightest " LIGHT " ~ in the Blackest Hour ; of the  " EONS of ETERNITY "
                                   " I  L O V E  T H E E "
                                      "  F O R E V E R  "
                                      " L  E  N  O  R  E "

This must have been a heartbreaking moment, HG. I can feel the pain in your poem. We never stop loving people after they die, we just have to find a way to move forward. A lonely option for sure. Best wishes in Ryland's contest. Love, Carolyn

You are welcomed Sir. got to give credit where it is due. Thanks for your observations on mine and David's covenant to each other. One would have to know our history to fully understand our love, but I do appreciate when others can see there is something extra-ordinary here. Always love, Joy (Jew)

Your title HG, makes one want to read this write, then your opening statement, it sends a kind of shock wave, so of course, no recourse, one has to see the whole and see it I did. It has been years now, but plain to see, the memory of Lenore is still holding a big chunk of your heart. Very deep words and meaning here. Be of comfort HG. Much Luv, Joy (Jew)
