Brenda Chiri Poet Free verse

Where Love Couldn'T Live

Emotions vibrate through
the heavens
Crying out desirous of a love
Beseeching its warm embrace
Yet it goes unfelt,
unheard, unanswered
Hopes for a pragmatic love
just a dream
Expectations being
preconceived
For the universe could
not grasp the greatness
of her yearning,
this she had come to
grips with because surely
none could provide fulfillment
Melancholy settles over her
as she carefully wraps
her love back up in ribbons
of longing, placing it back into
a box of disappointment
Sitting upon her empty bed
of sorrow absent of emotion
For tears dried up years ago
and only out of habit did
she release its vibration
out into the heavens
knowing she would remain
a castaway on this island
where love seemed
could not live.........

I try to throw my memories down the river and move on daily. But you have captured so many here. Brenda Chiri September 27, 2019 at 9:16 AM Caren thank you so much my friend!;)
