Into Forever.
When you went our half-read book fell
from its rightful bower,
my life deflowered,
now stones clutter fields of meant harvest
and exploded to rubble
death's dust chokes our dreams
for joy appears reaped.
When I lost you those visions of smiles
morphed to tears of mourning,
my days were undawned,
now blackened light stumbles on paths we
trod and frozen too soon,
passion grows listless and old
for time feels so cold.
When you sank out of life's reach into
silent sleep's vastness
my hope unfastened,
now clouds cover tomorrow's past glory
and desire takes back-steps
as though real living has died
for need is denied.
With you gone, though goodbyes were
unspoken fused bonds remained,
my courage re-trained,
now rain-bruised with heart-strings heavily
soaked, unable to
stave off lament my mind knows
all is not broken.
Love soldiers forward, recharges forces
and avoiding explosives
it will be victorious
for into Forever hope walks
on and on
and
on.

My dear Poetess Fay...
It seems we’re on the
same wavelength...
I’ve been thinking and
missing a loved one!
Haven’t been able to
write about it. My muse
is silent...unlike yours!
You’ve expressed
so well what I’ve been
feeling for my loss!
Will be saved as one
of my favorites!
~Laura~
Oh Fay I've come over all sad now - must reread my own posting - only joking - a fine piece as ever.
Very fine poem Fay , very well composed ! You are a very fine poet !
Good write Fay.
The human spirit is indomitable, indeed. Well portrayed here, Fay!
Only you could express the feelings of the one left behind in such a beautiful, sad, but filled with hope way, Fay! Into my favs it goes!
Wonderful write
Thanks for sharing a POEM straight from your Loving Heart FAY ! It reflects the EXPERIENCE we all have reflecting on the DEMISE of a Loved One. However I have never "lost" a Soul Mate ~ which is the most unkindest cut of all ! Life deflowered ~ Days undawned ~ Hopes unfastened ~ Need denied ~ BUT (Praise God) You counter with COURAGE RETRAINED !
I love the optimism and resolve in your concluding lines !
All is not broken
Love soldiers forward
It will be victorious
Hope walks on & on & on
Thanks for caring & sharing

Superb write Fay, lost love is hard to deal with but your words though so emotive look forward and you know that your life will be rebuilt in love.
