For those who dismiss
Love unrequited
Or those who scoff
And cry infatuation

May you never gather
The flowers of loneliness
In a softly broken soul

Still a dream of falling tears
She became the meaning of loveliness
Still heartache after all the years
She is the essence in the rose
A triumph in the loss of beauty’s tenderness

The Triumph of Loss

For those who dismiss
Love unrequited
Or those who scoff
And cry infatuation

May you never gather
The flowers of loneliness
In a softly broken soul

Still a dream of falling tears
She became the meaning of loveliness
Still heartache after all the years
She is the essence in the rose
A triumph in the loss of beauty’s tenderness

May you never gather the flowers of loneliness in a softly broken soul........now that is poetry at its most beautiful as the heart speaks in a way no other can speak unless having been there, and wonderfully in your writing expressed that which happens over time,as throw away comments don;t even reach the pain or the effect on your life nor recognises what you carry always.

Makes you wonder if the object of this poem is still out there, and how closely she resembles the idea behind the writing.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
