Array ( [sid] => 186546 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => For Emma [time] => 2019-09-17 15:43:19 [hometext] => dedicated to a lady in my favourite coffee stop, who is leaving for Wales to join her boyfriend who works there. [bodytext] => When joyless tones reign hereabout
and tears run dry
and dawn breaks out,
hunger not for wistful days
nor bitter-sweet emotion.
But walk resplendent, not in dread,
to the life you choose, your oyster bed,
when flowers will blossom, pink and red
to honour your devotion.

There shall you go
while sunbeams seep,
down to the Cymric valleys deep,
your sparkling smile now theirs to keep,
but ours in fond reflection.
Southward turns our Scottish belle,
held grand upon her golden shell,
and trumpets blare in pomp farewell
our lasting warm affection.

boy, Spudly, you know how to bling out an over-sized farewell card - I thought I was generous just signing /'/all the best!/'/ in the ones that came my way.

Just beautiful.

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. ©
