A poem called "Love Unspent"...comments?

she was a vision standing over me

offering soft hand with long, thin fingers

in angelic voice she said

come away with me, I'll take you there

(no, I'm not ready to go)

a smile crossed her radiant face

and she took my hand in hers

yes, that's the hardest part, I know,

leaving before all your love's been spent

(true, my dying heart is still full)

ah, but that's why I've come for you

to share of a place to spend that love

where you can pour it out from up above

over all those you want for eternity

(promise?)

trust me, you always have

come away with me.....

....now

(show me this place)

Update:

Mixtli: I borrowed it from you...hope you don't mind!!

Update 2:

(Why someone comes to a post only to thumbs down every answer is beyond me, really)

    Perfect outlook, Ma (I like the parenthoughtsis).

    When it is time--let it rain.

  • As I close my eyes

    I can see your face

    a hundred-thousand times.

    I can hear in your voice

    the gentleness

    as you call me to your side.

    As painful though as it may be

    to live in the dreams of yesterday -

    I will not forget you.

    And Yet again ....

    Wishing you were here to talk -

    wishing I could see you,

    wishing I could say hello -

    wishing I was near you.

    Wishing I could see you smile,

    wishing I could hear you laugh -

    Wishing I could have all those things

    that I no longer have.

    As always, a good poem Ma™ One is never truly gone if he/she lives on in the memory of others. It is in their fond rememberance that we continue to have life, at least for a while. This poem makes me think, a lot. Imagery is melancholic for me ... the One of my (poor in comparison) poems is long gone ... But you my friend, have to stay put for a long while yet ... because I said so. ;)

    This has a quality I don't see much in un-metered non-rhyming verse. It sings, the words flow to create a music setting in my mind, so that as I read, the words are musical notes to a classic symphony hereto unknown to mankind. I like what it says, but more so, I like the sound of it. That is why I read aloud. It sounds different that way.

    Thank you for posting this one.

    wonderful....

    and no cost for the

    streets and gates

    love spent just

    continues on

    love isn't always circle

    it is a continuous line

    crossing, meeting

    connecting

    Wonderful,ma;

    You are`t going anywhere.

    You are here to stay,

    to shower your unspent love

    to each and everyone.

    This speaks loudly, yet ever so softly of what we have to look forward to.

    Very enjoyable moring read.

    Thanks, Ma!
