Questions.
at Now's surreal boundary where rough
meets mind's edges death presents
ears with untimely laments
as pebble-tough questions lie underfoot,
when sting of saline rimes wet cheeks
in unwelcome sadness, as stress meets
reason queries arise with
need to be asking things not understood,
here as endings mingle defeatingly
with every beginning does grief's hold
ever let go for life to flow
in one who so gladly late-love undertook?

BEAUTIFUL symbiosis of Picture & Poem which is a FAY hallmark. While I wallow in my own odd-odes ~ I think "Surely FAY can't raise the MPS Bar again !" but you have ! Now I no longer question it but see each of you daily offerings as a "Masterclass in Perfection". This is no exception ~ it made me cry but I love it and You too ! Further analysis is superfluous ~ Thanks for caring & sharing ~ BRIAN
A beautiful lament of lost love, Fay. Nothing is more crushing to the spirit, and your poem portrays the effect well. I admire you for taking the risk of "late-love".
Very good write. Those "nows" can be so very fleeting." .
Yes, good symbiosis - if I knew what it was exactly?! heehee. Good write Fay. The poem and picture covey a sort of claustrophobic atmosphere, even though the pic is a wide outdoor scene.
You walloweth not, Brian! It's not 'any old rubbish' on 'ere, ya know!
You can speak of anything in the same delicate way. You are a soft lady Fay. Again I repeat: I just love to read you. Thanks for sharing.
Love this poem! Very descriptive and full of emotion. Wonderful!
A very moving write Fay.
Fay, this poem is brilliantly written, an emotional powerhouse, with a subject we all have to deal with sooner or later. Fay-tastic!
Those last three lines kill me inside. I meet widows with my romantic intent.. Beautifully written.
