Goodbye To Love

Kurt Philip Behm

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. 🕊️🙏

    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
