Love is hard to forget...

On lonely days such vacant space,
An empty chair, no warm embrace,
Her smile no more my life to grace,
The loss inflicts much pain.

Still haunted by the happy days,
Fond memories a smoky haze,
Warm seaside walks in sunshine rays,
Now all I feel is rain.

Those magic times I fondly miss,
When we enjoyed our lovers bliss,
I yearn a single fleeting kiss,
We join no longer twain.

In quietude a lonely prayer,
That hope won't wither to despair,
Across my eyes a vacant stare,
Peers out my window pane.

Time slowly helps my mood improve,
On with my life I've tried to move,
But wistful thoughts I can't remove,
Where lost love left a stain.

A candle flickers in the hall,
It faintly glows should e're she call,
Just once more to my heart enthrall,
I'm waiting here in vain.

Helllo, Mick!

Poem is very elegiac.
Despondency is almost tangible in your lines.
Yearning and longing for past love.
Assume that traces of anguish will never leave sad heart.
Until some new opportunity brights your way once more.

I've been waiting here all my life in vain. But you have experienced love even though you lost. I'm just a withered up old maid. Beautiful poem Mick!

.... Until some new opportunity BRIGHTENS you once again.
Adjective is now replaced with an adequate verb.
Words need to be carefully considered.
With a lot of attention.
Sometimes they just slip away.
But, conscience will align them in right order.
Always.
Without a doubt.

You posted this on my birthday. I celebrated 52 so far. I was working at Hardee's back around 1990 and got a bunch of balloons from a girl I only dated in the summer as she broke up with me when school started in August. The last I heard from her was a letter around 1998, but I was done with her, too many break ups.daydream rollers

It's better to have love and lost than never to have love at all.
