Midnight Blue

grieving

 

``Midnight Blue``

 

Stirring the ashes of your memory dear
in an empty fireplace
no longer ablazed with warming cheer
whence we raptured in love's embrace

Remembering it, seems a lifetime ago
as once I held you near
These memories fade all too slow
and the cost of loss is dear

Flashing thoughts of a time, I cannot put away
of nights spent loving you
Now anguish clasps my heart each day
in tones of midnight blue

Reminecsing preoccupies my mind and soul
and tears fall thru~ fingers of each early dawn
as days drag meanlessly and mundanly along
even when the rivers run dry~I'll still have no resolve.

The good memories of a love that was, but is no more only serve to make us more lonely.
One can spend their life recalling memories of a love that was meant to be forever...
and the memories and the loneliness WILL be forever. A wonderful write for this challenge
Fran. The loneliness is in every line.

Good one Fran Marie. Well written and the last stanza I feel described
eloquently the "loneliness" of something that still has no resolve. Always
a very lonely place to be.

Thank you for this beauty of a write and for "Keeping the Dream Alive! ~ Helena
