Inspired by a Linda Ronstadt song and my own experience Artwork is by Miguel Avataneo

Things I Knew From 'that' moment I knew.... Heartbreak would be A constant companion For many days to come... And those days would slip away, One into the next, and night Would follow, a willing hostage... Life would continue, Like a windmill caught in the breath Of random winds... Memories would haunt Even as they eased the piercing hurt That comes with loss.... And time... it would soothe Those wounds that bleed Tears of mourning... But I did not know... Broken hearts Could not keep time. November 2006

Wonderful personal stuff, which we've all known to a degree, for whatever reason. Losing a love, an intense and deep love, is like no other human experience. You treat the tragedy with the painful helplessness awaiting any victim. Such suffering makes us stronger and smarter to go on with life... as you very well know how to do.

this is simply lovely...and damned good verse.
My favorite line...if I had to choose one would be the last stanza...Broken hearts could not keep time...for anyone who has suffered from one, this satement is so true.
Well done my friend.

"Like a windmill caught in the breath
Of random winds... "
Your old romantic soul can't help but break out when you wrote this poem.
