Bottle of Rain

The end of one love is the beginning of another.

I've come to bury the last of love

beneath this willow tree

In the deep forest I went

where no one else could see

___________________________

Held within this bottle of rain

are the tears I cried for her

The many nights I couldn't sleep

as I dreamed of how we were

___________________________

I'll place on it no pictures

spin thrice to forget the way

Save in me the pain she flowered

leave the dark for light of day

___________________________

I'll never visit her again

forever play all day in the sun

But night when no one else is there

I'll cry of her as the one

 

Tate

Yes Virginia I must have a heart. I think it's broken

Such quiet and sorrowful pictures you paint. I feel as if I walk through your pain with you and feel the breeze within the willow you buried her under. Such a shattered heart makes everything so quiet, no? Such a strong piece, with the focus of a single journey, as a tear from eye to ground. I weep with you.

[SheWolfNLust]

Absolutely stunning, I totally loved your imaginary in you poem and the way your words stirred my emotions inside, your each word was very much heartfelt, brilliant penning and so very much enjoyed xoxo

[Tate Morgan]

[Tate Morgan]

Thanks Doc it seems everyone is meandering my old work tonight lol thank you

[Dr. Wood ?]

worth answering this because I get to hear that song again....Sad yet beautiful

[Tate Morgan]

i always liked that song too

[Neville]

A delightful read indeed and whilst I don't usually like musical accompaniment to poetry, the Gilbert O'Sullivan track contains some particularly emotive lines (well at least for me at this particular time).
Cheers, N

[Tate Morgan]

[Neville]

Good to hear my Friend

[Tate Morgan]

[Neville]

Well there you go, strange things happen but there is usually a reason somewhere along the line. I will keep reading. N

[Blue Belle]

Awww, it's so sad....good job.

[Levi Levin]

Very good Tate....it brought tears to my eyes...bless you my friend.

[Lina Grey]

such beautiful words you sing, such a sad tale you spin ~em

[Fabian G. Franklin]

The sad longing reaches off the page and pulls the reader into this melacholy verse. But there's no moving forward while looking back unless we want to stumble on our life path. We can never find heaven by looking down. So, chin up and eyes on the prize old chap...leave the buried past behind and let's get on with this business of living! Bravo on a fine write!

[Little Whisper]

Ahhhhh... I don't know whether to say how sorry I am for your saddness or tell you what a beautiful poem this is. I will say both Truly.

[Sheila Kline]

Your words seem so melancholy and far reaching back into days of yesterday in search of those memories of one who was such an important part of your world in moments of love now past. You have left the light of day for the dark of the pain without her!! 'Tis so filled with regret Tate!
The song is very beautiful too, as is the image. You always deliver the perfect package!!
