*Dedicated to Lady Peg and her Beloved Knight Debashish Haar...*
The Door Shut Today…
The door shut today,
And beauty lay slain on the floor…
Her beloved Knight was cast out,
Left to wander about,
Gated and locked doors…
And the people didn’t want to listen anymore…
So they turned their heads…
And slept in their beds,
Trying to drown out the beating of the drums,
That called them to the war…
But the door…
The door was shut today,
And no one wanted to listen anymore…
And the Knight was locked out-
No one would listen to his shout…
I watched from the top of my mountain,
Safe among the trees,
But I could still see,
The misery all around me…
The Brave Knight put away his sword,
And his Lady climbed aboard,
His mighty steed and they rode away,
And the door was shut today…
I sat down on the green grass,
And watched as truth and justice died,
I heard the final scream of honor,
As I sat here and cried…
No one even asked why,
No one came to stand by their side,
We all stood here and watched as
Truth, love, and honor died…
And all I could do was cry,
And ask why someone would want
Such things to die…
You don’t have to worry anymore,
The Lady and her beloved Knight are gone,
Some damn fool closed the door,
And we shall never see them anymore…
*A poem from Sanil
Missing My Friends…
Oh my friends,
We will miss you a lot...
You came to us
Showering the beauty of romance,
Like a spring rain-
We enjoyed it,
We loved the beauty of it...
Don't understand what happened,
Between here and there-
Wished you both could stay with us…
I Wished AD could be showered,
With the Beauty and Romance,
Of Peggy and Debashish Haar-
I wish you both,
All happiness and Smiles,
Where ever you are…
Sanil

A beautiful and touching poem Retta.
What is going on? I did not check regularly so I was quite shocked to hear that Peggy has left AD. Could you let me know?
Thanks and love

Reindeer,
Lady Peg shared with me about this poem it touched her deeply. And she said Also Debs.
She will always cherish you and Sanils friendship as well the many others here at Authors Den. Outstanding tribute both poems.

Ohhhhh Retta I know this is sooooo very sad...if you get the chance read my Blog about how I exactly feel.
This is a fine, noble tribute to two people I have come to know and love dearly as fellow poets, peers and internet friends...my heart has broken to pieces...

A loving and beautiful poem....So full to the brim with emotion....Ty, Dani
This is a nightmare that just won't go away.
Seems like something I would expect to break out during a hockey game, not on a poetry site.
We are just decent people sharing our feelings in poetry.
I can't help feeling a bit stupid being so clueless myself.
Very good poetry as always.

Peg is a true lady in every way. Will miss the duets with Debs. But you won't miss them if you buy a book!--or go to Peg's site and check up on her there. Reviews will never be the same without the Lady. :`(``
Well What more can I say...everyone else said it...Peggy was one of my very best friend...she stood by me since day one on the DEN...All I can Add is PEGGY& DEBS COME BACK...we need you here!!
Thanks for this most beautiful Tribute to two wonderful Authors!!

Peggy has left? What a shock. Don't know Deb Harr. Nice tribute Reindeer......
oh Rein-
what a fine tribute to Peg and Deb you have written here, and yet admonish those who have slammed the door..I found so much in Peg, as we all did...I despise admonishments by web-masters who claim they have truth when actually they have is blinded information dancing in masquerade...

Help. I feel really dense about this.
I don't get what happened or the consequences
it speaks to, but Peg matters to me--and anyone that matters to her matters to me.
Can someone fill me in? Vicky

Just as life during the pandemic was color-coded with different hues representing different levels of danger, life in its aftermath has become shaded in similar ways. As a self-styled “Seeker of Beauty with Beauty,” (borrowing from a quote by W.E.B.
'Better Without You'is a compelling narrative that explores the complexities of an affair, hidden secrets, and abuse. It also highlights a daughter's heartfelt journey as she cares for her mother who is battling dementia.
