The Why of Goodbye

Hidden dreams silently fall upon the window pane of love's antiquity where I find your face, drifting in an out of view until I leave...with my delirium to rooms of what should have been forsaken to a spiritual lethargic reality leaving me alone...with abdicated pictures hanging on bitter walls of loneliness There was light once...warm and comfortable where each room glowed in vibrant colors filled with flowers you arranged wearing Spring dresses that quietly fluttered around you basking in your form, as you moved like a dancer across floors of soft splayed light from dawn's awakening Could that I ask you remember the good times not the broken glass flung on the walls of anger from a mind drunk and deserted by hubris...before our fall 1/20/19

Sometimes why is never answered, loved this poem Frederic... When something ends in a bad way, it can be difficult to remember the good times, as anger consumes the mind... Congratulations on your first place in the contest..

This enchanting poem is right up there with the passionate pen of Pablo Neruda Frederic! I didn't listen to the music until after I read your stunning words. I hold you in highest regard as a romantic poet of our times. The song enbraces the pain of loss in your poem. I admire your talent that inspires my heart to improve. Bravo! xxoo A Fave!

Whether or not we admit it, many of us do remember both the good and bad aspects of any relationship. There is a gentleness in the first two verses that I admire and a sadness in the last that makes me wish there were more second chances.
