Heart, we will forget him

GLOSA

Heart, we will forget him!
You and I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light. 

By Emily Dickenson

*****************************************

Heart, we will forget him

With all the power of our might

A sorry tale that we could forever write

If I did not feel so trite!

 

You and I, tonight,

Will remember precious love

The cooing of the gentle dove

The interlude of symphonies song...

 

You may forget the warmth he gave

I will remember the warm barmy nights

sweet blush of a rising moon

His sonnets making me swoon...

 

 

I will forget the light

You can remember the flame

I have forgotten now that the candles dimmed

and I'm left alone without my poet's love...

Helena!
You have taken the words of Emily Dickinson and skillfully added more depth and emotion to them in a way that causes my heart so sing!
'Tis lovely, so very lovely!! The feeling of sadness and longing transcends moments of time. I can see the dimmed candles, sense the warmth turned to cold, but grasp the love that is still alive!!
