Where Love Resides Teary Eyed

Holding on to dreary past when emotions cried Looking for remnants of a happy dreamy night Where love, once resolute, resides teary eyed Early days saw blue skies roaming far and wide Giving way to stormy clouds hosting dire plight Holding on to dreary past when emotions cried Rising waters warned of looming turbulent tide The essence of soft shadows spurned lorn sight Where love, once resolute, resides teary eyed Recounting evermore moments of joy and pride Saddened vibes overtake with raging ugly fight Holding on to dreary past when emotions cried Appearances blatantly lied when romance died Regrets now multiply as hostile memories bite Where love, once resolute, resides teary eyed Darker motions inform abandoning rays of light Insisting to take refuge within stories they write Holding on to dreary past when emotions cried Where love, once resolute, resides teary eyed May 9, 2018 The essence of soft shadows contest by John lawless

A touching write.... which reflects the pain of love which once was full but now has ebbed out. The repetition of lines in villanelle form adds to its haunting effect. Beautiful poem Vijay!

Hi Vijay, you use the Villanelle form to its full extent in this emotional ride through gentle words. Your words sing a sad song that touches deep within the heart. The emotions are real and the images strong. This one brings tears to the eyes of this reader. The emotions touching me deeply my friend. May your pen ever run gold. Have a wonderful Monday. Your friend always....Mike.
