Departing

Departing

A Poem by Neal S

Do you remember 
That night
When our love was born
You pierce through my veins 
One with my blood
Your song in my mouth
Filling me 
With your blazing love 

Do you remember 
That day
When our love died 
Time made of stone
Hours repeating 
That broken window
Sorrow climbing vines through me
On the outside of an empty house

Departing

this is a great piece. Everything that is born dies and even so with most loves.

Wow, this was very powerful. Love's beginning, love's end...so sad. But beautiful. Excellent writing.

Nicely written. I can feel the love and the sadness at the same time.

Sad ....I can feel the loneliness,
Your description makes you feel both extremes.... lovely!

The good and the bad. But the in between is where the memories lay.

Indeed. Thank you Paul.
Two sides of the coin, the best and worst, perfectly captured Neal.

Thank you so much!
Your phrasing is always truly unique and a pleasure to read:
Sorrow climbing vines through me
On the outside of a empty house

I also notice a distinct lack of blame here, which is refreshing when discussing love dissolved.

Ditto to above. :D I liked the vine metaphor. It should be "an" empty house though. Overall great po.. read more
