the stroke of midnight... the hour of mystery and romance.....mark my sadness
the first rays of sun... the rays of awakening... mark my sorrow
the glow of the moon... its face full of peace and splender.... mark my loneliness
the harmony of the song.... the grace of its dance... mark the emptiness of my heart.

Once not so long ago, all these things held wonder for you and I...
Once bewitched us for many a day and night...
Once held us in in their knowing embrace....
Once nurished our love.

Not so long ago... the angels envied our love....
Not so long ago.... the flowers bloomed for us alone....
Not so long ago.... the birds sang for no one but us...
Not so long ago.... whe thought would be forever.

Then came the day.... the clock did not chime
Then came the day.... the sun died for me...
Then came the day.... the moon lost its wonder...
Then came the day.... the song came to an end.

why.... why does your heart beat no more...
why.... why does your eyes no longer shine....
why.... why do your lips no longer whisper my name
why.... why does this pain continue to burn in my soul.

why did you go
why did you not take me
why did you leave me here alone

The angels called your name...
the angels eased your pain....
the angels needed you more than I
the angels left me here to cry

If only I had but a minuet more....
I could have told you
I would have shown you
I would have begged
but no.... the call of the heavens you could not deny....

I pray to join you
I pray that you hear my calls
I pray that you hear my cries....
I pray for one more touch... one more kiss...

One day I will join you...
Untill then my love....
remember me fondly,
remember my embrace,
remember my kiss...
remember my love for you.

I strive to go on, healing as I grow....
knowing you'll watch over me as I go...
Lighting my path, guiding my way...
Helping me learn the lesson of letting go.

May we help in the meantime ?

, brings someone to mind,..... may her gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

Strong words Brat ty for sharing that.. Does make you think of ones you lost ..

I'm sureI'm not the only one that feels these words of yours for someone we've lost in our own lives.

Morning Dan

morning Shadow...

How beautifully written, sad and profound ...

Sad yet the ending speaks volumes.

Beautifully written by a beautiful lady! Brought tears to my eyes as I remember one also.

Thank you for sharing this and letting me know it was here.

Awesome. Still untangling my emotions. Thank you.

I am sitting here sobbing like a baby. Thank you GEB for this beautiful and touching poem. I can't seem to let go myself.

To all the beautiful people that read my poem.... believe it or not, I was not sad when I wrote this... I was remembering all the good times my Jay (gone 1984)... I was inspired by a question the BeautifulEri asked me in another thread...
She asked me if I had ever been in love... Once a lifetime ago I had given my heart to someone only to have the Heavens call him home...
I can only pray that I will feel the joy of having that once more before I die...
I know I was directed to this sight for a reason...
So many people here know what I feel because they have been there themselves...
Thankyou for helping me let go....

I am very lucky in a way that the reasons I have "had to let go" of past loves" were different (if it can be called lucky) ...

You poem is so poignant though it brought tears to my eyes ...

You have my warmest wishes for you to meet the one who will once more make you feel loved and whom you will love back
