O joyful love
O Sorrowful parting
O Spiteful fate

As I watch my love
In the promised arms
Of another

Broken words
And open wounds.
Timeless sorrow
That can not be healed
By word
Nor touch.
But nurtured and bided
Until the mention of
Yourself
No longer burns
Torture
But simply fades
As a name
In the fickleness
Of time

So beautifully written of lost love to another. Time is a great healer. I love your rendition of Shakespeare. Jenny.

Thanks Jenny. This has been gathering dust in my poetry folder for years after I gained inspiration from watching Shakespeare in Love (great film by the way) and it moved me to write about my lost love. V.C
