Poetry: I Shall Always
Dare not within darkness let our love bay
tend not in woe of our days that are done
fight wet hot tears and in bed do not stay
rise up glad knowing that we are still one.
Let this day dally long languish slow soar
sing old sun’s glory as it strays sure high
sing so content softly pen our sweet score
my love oh my love in absence won’t die!
Always true that swift rivers reach the sea
somber white moon quiet crosses the sky
Winter each year allows snow to fall free
to my cold death I shall always soft sigh
Blessed and true I am grateful each day
That such a love as you had come my way.
Beautiful!
Recently I stumbled upon your blog by happy accident. Needless to say, I look forward to reading more of your work. This piece was lovely.
Well I am so happy you did! Thank you very much for your kind comment.
and you said winter and snow like Yeats would have and I hurried outside but winter had left and I hit my head against the clear glass door rushing to see the snow – thank you for the photo you sent as a gift earlier – I do really love snow – did you know?
Well bringing up Yeats is a bit much relative to my work lol. Yes, I read your blog byline, life is in the details would you agree? I’m glad you liked the snow, near I could do haha
yes details that usually most people don’t see and I so appreciate your attentiveness – and the more snow I can go see the better – its just been elusive to me – I have been abroad and always missed the snowfall! Just my luck! you like Yeats too? Isn’t he dreamy, those eyes and the words he speaks to me – I loved him first before any other poet.
My Favorite is John Keats
he was the impossible romantic -ah now I know why you write sonnets more than others – good choice!
No one can touch you on this. Yu are in a class of your own. This is a one helluva fabulous sonnet. Quite the genius you are!
Thank you Yazzy for recognizing my hard work on this sonnet!
Yay 😊 welcome Robbie.

I’m going to North Hampton or Pittsfield after here. Still waiting on disability decision. If I get at least 30% I can get my masters paid in full plus housing plus books plus expenses😀
Oh, that would be wonderful! I really hope it works out. What would your degree be in?
Social work

Gorgeously stunning!!!
That’s high praise from you, I’ll take it thank you! I do love writing sonnets, they are not often well understood, so the you appreciate it makes it all worthwhile. Thank you so much M!

Thank you Rob! I appreciate and repect you willingness to be so exposed and raw. There is good that comes from your struggles and desire to share your recovery! Remember that on the hard days, when you may have doubts and are full of why’s!
Yes, and thank you for that. Some dAys I wonder what the he’ll I’m posting and if it matters to anyone but me lol
Do it for you and then you’ll never have to wonder… and realize in someway you are reaching others even if you never receive affirmation ( but it is encouraging to know in some way we have touch another)
Yes, you are 100% correct, can’t you tell by some of the things I post, lol. I haven’t dipped my toe into childhood yet. That’s the last stronghold on me. Maybe soon. It’s difficult
good gawd brave soul take your time … childhood traumas can be hard to navigate
Yes, yes they can
Write, not wrote lol

Me too. I hate autocorrect
Lmao gawd yes!
And thanks for being around today, it means a lot to me, just so you know
My pleasure friend! 😊
