Unbidden Love - Ca

"the anguish of grief leaves me with an appetency and yearning for peace . . . " the allure of love was enchanting the promise between us a delicate flower love was like a guest unbidden well-timed and auspicious for my heart was a ravaged garden and you knew how to soothe and calm me how to assuage my fears and the scars on my soul faded we lay cuddled 'till the crack of dawn sometimes you would look at me awry with a crooked smile and your laughter was music for my soul now . . . I hang my head like a wilted rose and the memory of time is my heavy cloak for I am broken since that dreadful day the pain atrocious and brutal you left me for heaven and I scream why . . . the wind blows in trees like the wail of violins and I stand in the summer, the fall, the winter and spring staring at your engraved name in stone and the clouds float in the sky and the birds sing me a sad and dreamy song for years and years I have been chained to your tomb but today, I absolve me I set me free . . . and I forgive you, my love for leaving 'cause I understand that it was not yours for the choosing but had been written . . . in the book of time ______________________ October 13, 2019 Poetry/Free Verse/Unbidden Love Copyright Protected, ID 19-1188-348-02 All Rights Reserved.
