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.

Take care. Lily
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.

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.
Comments much appreciated.
