you




have you seen
the reflection of sorrow
painted in gold
tainted with black

it is a dress I wear
for days travelling my way

anguish a word
spellt one way not the other
smile a semantic unsolved

winds tell of spring
in a backyard of life
stitched poorly
coming undone
with emptiness

and you
a word I try to forget

you paint these words pictures with delicate strokes of your pen. each word chosen and placed in harmony or disharmony to the next conveying deeply felt emotional images that leave a picture of your soul. xx

ditto kathy! I have that dress too. So sorry for your pain, but as mike says, and I hope he is right, a man loves this sort of adornment on woman, proof that their love is true.

Great poem, made me cold and cry, but just for a moment, as I have another life to live.

Smiling at you sadly,

Tai

Such sadness expressed

it is a dress I wear
for days travelling my way

you paint such a picture with your words

As almost always when I read your poems, I only want to let it sink into me without so many more words than "yes. yes."
Well, it makes no great comment, but it is true!
Thank you for writing!

there is deep beauty in the darkest sadness .
Here the beauty is deep in every way . Form , flow and setting _ painted so vividly with just the right tint .
If anything this poem should also be worn , like a long black dress .
Bravo .

'And in the depth of this
bittersweet poem i find all the chagrin
of a love held dear
and a love that sears the heart
it is all a part of keeping alive
The woman you
For what else can you do
But to love irrevocably if painfully'

there is nothing more beautiful to a man than a womans love

an excellent poem which i book mark for it brilliance rgds Michael
