The Lovers
She
watched the
shadows pass
as the rain fell
listening to sad songs
play on the radio
slipping into her sorrow
forever lost in emptiness
the darkness encroaches, closing in
her eyes close bit by bit, her breath escapes
while on a distant plain far far away
the sadness fell like a guillotine
a splash of blood stains the marble
vacant eyes stare to the sky
forever a starless night
no more words spoken
worlds apart
and yet so
close is

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Amazing......
It profoundly describes the feeling of longing and love
good job
Love is an un tamed force. When we try to control it, it desrtoys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused
Thank you

wow! this is a total "wow"!I really admire the way you wrote this DM. profound yet striking.. Another exquisite poem it really is.
"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise."
-- F. Scott Fitzgerald
gently sad, and the shape of the poem very like a drop of water. A teardrop perhaps? very sad.
Thank you both
