A love that dwell
within my mind
Is no longer there
Evicted to nowhere
A soul that once sang
Happy songs
Who never did wrong
Now soaks in tears
Only the void echoes
Of laughter remains
From yesteryears.
A classic feel to this poem, William. I wonder if we all don't end up this way, having lost, but risked it. We all have that one that got away, or worse, a situation more tragic. Love and hugs,
Sheila
THANK GOD THE MEMORIES ARE OF 'LAUGHTER'... BITTER AND SWEET...A ENJOYABLE MIXTURE THAT IS APPRECIATED...IN MELENCHOLY TIMES. LOVELY WORK, WILLIAM...THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS & FAITH...

A bitter sweet way to look at life but expressed with honesty and truth, not sure if this is your personal experience but if so I know you will find a new song and add the old to the songbook of your heart.

William,
i think love is still there, too,
even if it's unfilfilled; there's such
longing and tenderness of expression
in these lines.
Very fine indeed.
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
love and hugs, Carole~

Indeed, it is part of the human condition. Many go wrong by making adverse choices when they're down or their partner is...
