Words Left Unsaid

Words left unsaid as teardrops fell The price of love, their hearts would tell And so they parted, love took flight And left their hearts to lonely nights Each unable to break loves spell Distant sound of the old church bell Rang through seasons they knew so well Winter to spring, summer shone bright Words left unsaid Each had a broken heart to sell As fire within they tried to quell Memories fade in Luna's light Stars wished upon twinkle in sight Love's distant star, flickers farewell Words left unsaid -- 9/22/17 Contest Name: Form U- U pick 'em Sponsor; Broken Wings

Beautifully written Rondeau, Joseph. Extremely hard form to write ... your talented pen painted a masterpiece. Great title too! An instant classic. Worthy of POTW. Gold standard poetry. Love and joy always.
