Her Lament (poem) by Melissa C. Rives on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on May 9, 2003

Melissa,
I sometimes am led to share, that layers unfolding are what present power in beauty born of words, yet you I feel know this already! I applaud you on your depth which awes me sincerely! I see my friend Malachy looks in on you, that is grnad! I need not bring you to his attention then as I had so intended. His looking in on your work I would consider an honor indeed! For his eye be as keen and honed as his words of pen be as well! Melissa, your words sown in utter elegance and eloquence indeed do paint your heart as well! Of this I have no doubt! So I salute both the words so fair, as well as the heart so fair that spawned them. I retreat in bow sweeping and low...
Sincerely
Rodney Evan Bohen

Thus it is hope of future days
that so inspires her pen to page.

For it�s the wounds of broken hearts
that leaves the scars that never heal.

Like a mindreader.. you reach down and spray the screen with the kind of honesty and utterly splendid pain here.. I hear myself gasp after reading you.. a gasp of sheer wonder at your talent to move me. This is simply amazing! katy.

Melissa,
Spoke my thoughts and heart so well
"To write for him of love and loss
while all these feelings linger still�
For it�s the wounds of broken hearts
that leaves the scars that never heal."
Beautiful
