Lin Lane Poet Kyrielle

Notes About The Poem

Gina's New Voices Contest ~ January, 30, 2025

While My Heart Aches

Moonlight will reign when twilight fades
Skies darken and starlight cascades
The world is poised, ready for sleep
While my heart aches, and my eyes weep

Tides continue to ebb and flow
Grief chills my life like Winter snow
Tears borne on waves into the deep
While my heart aches, and my eyes weep

Nights are long as I lie abed
Memories of us fill my head
Time moves slowly, seeming to creep
While my heart aches, and my eyes weep

In restlessness, I toss and turn
For what I have lost, I still yearn
From love we've sown, I cannot reap
While my heart aches, and my eyes weep

Muted in lament are my sighs
So no one hears my mournful cries
I pray to God,  "My soul to keep"
While my heart aches, and my eyes weep

As dawn appears in morning light
I'm thankful for passage of night
Across my room, sunlight will sweep
While my heart aches, and my eyes weep

Duke Beaufort February 5, 2025 at 10:51 AM Lin, this reflects the epitome of sadness and mourning. It's compelling and makes me want to jump into the page and offer some sympathy and company. I have been lucky to have a faithful companion for the past decades, but I can imagine what it could be like for either of us if one were to go. Hope you are well!! Lin Lane February 22, 2025 at 10:39 AM I am wayyy past due on responding to your wonderful comments, Duke. Your sympathetic heart is beating, and I hear it clearly. Thank you, kind friend. I'm well and hope the same for you.

Abdullah Alhemaidy January 30, 2025 at 9:36 PM Nights like waves, some ups some downs. Have a nice weekend dear lovely Lin! Lin Lane January 31, 2025 at 9:42 AM Thank you for your compliments, AA. I hope to have a fine weekend and wish the same for you. ;-)

Quoth Theraven January 30, 2025 at 8:41 PM Lin, Yes, a little darkness in palatte shades is necessary in life, at least it's so for me. Without pains of heartache and strife, what use is ecstasy? -Richard Lin Lane January 31, 2025 at 9:41 AM Hi Richard and thank you so very much for your thoughts. We truly appreciate life more after we've felt the pain of heartache.

Tom Cunningham January 30, 2025 at 12:52 PM A break up can be devastating, there is no joy and your mind tumbles down into a bleak abyss. I noticed your comment to Kim, so far I've fought in wars, fell on a railroad track and survived, slayed dragons and gone back in time. All this and still managing being mayor in a wild West Town lol. If its real I'd say so. Tom Kim Rodrigues January 30, 2025 at 6:55 PM LOL, Tom! Lin Lane January 30, 2025 at 1:01 PM Point taken and it is wise advice. Having lived through the reality of some experiences lends layers of truth to fiction. Thank you for such sage comments, Mayor Tom.

Kim Rodrigues January 30, 2025 at 10:33 AM Grief so personal to the mourner, whilst the world spins. Heartfelt write, dear Lin. Hugs ~ Kim Lin Lane January 30, 2025 at 11:08 AM Thanks very much, Kim. Maybe I should note this is fiction, as Gina has mentioned in a recent blog.
