Bob Quigley Poet Rondeau

Where Two Once Stood

Where two once stood, now one alone
Left to journey on their own
Gone the love they chose to share
Dashed in the ashes of despair
A heart now turned to stone

How for this loss will I atone
Survive without the love I've known
One broken heart beyond repair
Where two once stood

The petals of our love have flown
Upon deaths winds loves seedlings sown
The remnants of a life stripped bare
One lonely soul still standing there
Where two once stood
