Ashes
Quiet calmness blends
emotions everlasting
Understand now
without my pain
from God
they may
have refrained
One voice carries
shared hurts
of two
causes an ember
to flicker
in a dark
life
And though the pain remains
the cost of love lost
becomes trivial
when thoughts
of being
without them...are remembered
My eyes did adore you
and never have I
been more
wrong...
Your love did inspire
emotional ramblings
on bits of paper
for a lost lunatic
could only
transcribe
what
empty
feels
There will be no march
no veil to lift
no touch
to feel
or dance
to dance
for love is dead
All that remains...are the ashes

lovely work .
JWell said. It reminds me of one of my own poem's, "Love's Requiem". Only someone who had experienced it could know the pain involved in the death of a love. I don't mean the body is dead--the LOVE is dead. There's a big difference. I like your work very much.
I feel as if I'm sitting off to the side listening and watching my own world when I read of yours. Thank you so much for sharing these lovely verses.

Wow, Dennis.
Sounds like you lost a love. It's a hard thing. But you poetry comes thru the fire and ashes like a beautiful phoenix. I'm enjoying your pages very much.
