Far up in the heavens
Above the brightest star
She looks for dreams and rainbows...

Don/'/t tell her where they are

For if she realizes
They stood so closely by
She/'/ll hang her head in sorrow
And lay her down to die

In the deepest caverns
She searches for the light
Yet cannot see the beacon
That stands so clear in sight
If she asks you kindly...

Don/'/t tell her where it is

Her eyes didn/'/t see the love
That shined in those of his

Far across the ocean
O/'/er the savage sea
In quest of love eternal
If she should ask of me
If she should ever wonder....

Don/'/t tell her where I am

For she can look forever now
And I don/'/t give a damn

L. Carling

If She Should Ask of Me

I can only imagine how many times such a scenario has occurred. It’s what makes up the best love stories, movies, songs. And yet when it happens in reality, the outcome isn’t always auspicious, as you have depicted brilliantly here! Lovely imagery, emotional depth, you’ve got a masterpiece here. Keep writing and God bless,

If only there was an easier way for each of us to see what is really in the hearts of others. Never knowing in their search for such great happiness that they can leave such great sadness in their wake.

I like the style you chose to write this. It is like opening one door after another and finding almost (but not quite) the same thing behind each one.
I was ready for a romantic finale, but you pulled a Gone With The Wind on us!
A crisp and spicy finish that slams the book shut with a resounding SO THERE!
It has left in my memory an image of someone sticking out their tongue! A delight.

I have to agree with softerware. This piece has a
certain Gone With The Wind feel about it, so much so
that I can almost here Clark Gable speaking your
words. When it comes to poems like this so many of
us have come to expect a sort of happy ending. You
have pulled a 180 and given us a welcome change.
Great piece, I look forward to reading more of
your work.

This poem hits home for me, especially this line: // Her eyes didn`t see the love
That shined in those of his //

Sooo relatable!

You also have a great knack of making something flow. Incredible! So smooth!

Thank you for sharing this.
