Aching fingers strained and taut
muscles crying for relief
no need to shout
you're here alone
minutes stretching out so long
Pray to God
you can hold on
visions spinning in your brain
ot th times
she was yours to claim
but the time
just creeps along
with a heart breaking
for the one
who's gone

How sad yet beautiful. Love is such a difficult emotion.

Heart felt without mushy sentimentality. You've got a typo/posting error to correct and give the poem the flow it deserves.

Slower is the time that avails your heart break.
Sweeter will be the morrow for her return.

Looking at your photo on authorsden, I see a man of strength and hope. Our journey on this earth are paths we don't understand sometimes but hope and love help us on it.
May God comfort you with hope as you trust him along the way, so that you may overflow with hope when it comes full circle in your life. It is the medicine that gives relief!

The heart is the greatest source of joy after a time of weeping. It is what makes life worth living...

Peace, love, and hope to you dear Budd..

I have too, been there and it took more than 12 years before I would even consider anyone and yet no one can compare with that truest love. Remember that Silver Eagle soars over you and all is meant to be, your heart will always need and your arms will not let go. You will mend but will not ever forget that love.

This is an anticlimax to your earlier poems, like a change of season from heat to cold? JK

Loss leaves a void. What do or can we do about it. Nothing! " We must learn how to 'deal with it.'. Life is just a bunch of changes, right? That's what I think.

Love ya!

Wow this jumps out at you for such a loss no one would like to endure but yet it is not uncommon. Much emotion captured in this wonderful poem.
