Array ( [sid] => 143018 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Valley of My Soul [time] => 2008-06-07 01:07:41 [hometext] => To all those who have lost a partner way too soon. Memories may never bring them back, but always keep their spirit alive [bodytext] => In a valley of my soul I weep
For a long lost love that the angels keep
Through the mist I drag my broken heart
It was not yet time for us to part

I have etched my face with the lines of tears
Wished for all the world to rewind the years
Locked myself in echoes of the past
Touched your face in dreams I prayed would last

Long silent nights become cloaks of despair
Ritual robes that I know I must wear
Emotion of happiness crumbled to dust
All that was positive, now left to rust

Two places I set at my table each night
Just folly to others, to me it seems right
As soft candle flickering shadows the room
I sway by myself to our favourite tune

What future for me do the heavens conspire ?
I am no more than empty shell, ash without fire
In the evening storms lingering, whispering your name
Rekindle my being, for you are my flame [comments] => 7 [counter] => 346 [topic] => 22 [informant] => puppy_dog_eyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )

For a long lost love that the angels keep
Through the mist I drag my broken heart

Locked myself in echoes of the past
Touched your face in dreams I prayed would last

Long silent nights become cloaks of despair
Ritual robes that I know I must wear

I love the depth of feeling that you brought to the surface. I especailly love the last line "rekindle my being, for you are my flame." this releases the intensity of everything within. thanks. great read. peace. elle

Oh my friend, this is touching, reaching deep.
Beautiful poem but so sad and your heartache I am so sorry for. Yes, in life death coming suddenly and before its times is one of the hardest goodbyes there is. I feel you here.

Hugs

Michelle
