Rhyme, ( The Letter Sent)
Edited version of a poem written over 42 years ago.
Although heart-sent and truly felt, there was no reuniting and love thus reborn, however life did march ever onward and the torn, worn, weary and broken heart was not swiftly healed. Yet time eventually did heal it...

When Red Sunset, Shines Its Brightest Inspiring Lights When morning glories glow, your closed heart opens again dawn's breaking light shows, a true faithful, loyal friend; can you then cleanse the hate from your embittered eyes open hard closed ears to hear this heart's saddest cries? Recall our friendship, and cherished years we both knew, remember we fought this dark world, just me and you! When red sunset, shines its brightest inspiring lights you feel that cool night's soft breeze, forget our big fights; see a future when we can dance under new stars forget the hard times, those bitterest of our scars! Hold to sworn vows, that united once tender souls, take a chance, toss the dice, see how it all rolls! If this poem sent, with its sadden heartfelt plea can repair the great damage, heal both you and me; send back this letter sealed with a red lipstick kiss write pretty love words, the ones that I dearly miss! Please meet me there at our favorite lakeside spot, sweet darling, give this broken man another shot! Recall our friendship, and cherished years we both knew, remember we fought this dark world, just me and you! Hold to sworn vows, that united once tender souls, take a chance, toss the dice see how it all rolls. Meet me Friday at our favorite lakeside spot, sweet darling, give this broken man another shot!

Hi Robert, such a touching, heartfelt write from your pen. You put your whole being into these words. Each word cried from the heart, alas, into a heart that could not hear. This is you my friend, emotions flowing through every rhyme. This has to be a Fave Robert. Have a wonderful end to your Saturday. Your friend always....Mike.

Such a beautiful lament. Some loves are lived for 42 years, so your poem is current after all.

This is so touching and sad, especially with the note that you did not reunite after all, such a poignant write!
