Goodbye To Love
I traipsed through the night
and the morning dew
To open my heart
stars crossing in queue
And left on your doorstep
blooming anew
A floral surrender
— of loves adieu
**
The Delta’s Gulf
Rivers of chaos
flow into oceans
of harmony ...
Leaving the torrent
in the delta’s gulf
— for peace and depth
**
New Feelings
Poetry defies
explanation
Perhaps its greatest
strength
New feeling’s unfelt
emerging unspelt
Present
— in the words
**
Dark Dismay
Spurned and left dejected
his heart in disarray
Falling from love’s precipice
into dark dismay
Trapped beneath the anguish
without a last goodbye
Buried in rejected shame
— wishing he could die
**
Pray
Hoping for fame
a slave to its portal
Praying for truth
— its blessings immortal
**

The elusive yet sought after. Rousing read. 🕊️🙏
Again, many thanks.
Most welcome 🕊️🙏
Well Kurt there seems again a link between these verses of a love felt lost and its resolution in the following verses. I can not but help thinking that there is method in the madness of such linked rhymes. Well done
Thanks. They were written at different times yesterday but there probably
is a subliminal connection.
Most welcome Kurt
Nicely written, Kurt. Your poems explore themes of love, loss, introspection, and the search for meaning. Each section delves into different aspects of emotional experiences, from the beauty and pain of love ("Goodbye To Love" and "Dark Dismay") to the complexity of emotions and the power of poetry itself ("New Feelings"). The poem reflects a journey through various emotional landscapes, highlighting the contrasting feelings of joy and sorrow that are intertwined with human experiences.
Kind insightful words.
You're welcome. I really had to work hard on this one!
It shows, thanks and appreciated.
Kurt, there’s such emotional range moving through these pieces...longing, surrender, reflection, despair, even that final reaching toward something lasting. “Goodbye To Love” (the title sent the Carpenter's song through my head) and “Dark Dismay” especially hit hard for me. Powerful collection, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks. Karen Carpenters voice was pure magic.
