Love's Gone

smoky blue eyes
she wore that day,
knowing it would
blow me away,

as behind closed doors
watching as you go,
the world behind us
all we'll ever know,

though memories
we dug up that day...
I just want to convey,
secret passions locked away,

now love's gone,
flowing like water
down the drain...
do you understand
the agony of my pain?

Slip beneath your cotton sheets,
wrapped as like a caterpillar,
safely marooned in your cocoon,
sleeping in your cold, empty room.

I love this, Jenny;-) Just a tiny point, in 'love's gone', you need an apostrophe, because it is an abbreviation of 'love is gone'. The last stanza is particularly effective with the imagery of the caterpillar. "Slip beneath your cotton sheets, wrapped as like a caterpillar, safely marooned in your cocoon, sleeping in your cold, empty room." Beautiful;-) Very much enjoyed. Tina

Hi Tina, just logged on to find I've made a boo,boo. Thank you so much for the help with the spelling, I can't believe I made that mistake, you'd think I'd know by now. Any way cheers again. Glad you enjoyed this poem and thanks so much for letting me know. Jenny.

HI Jenny,  Oh how I can relate to this.  It's as if you were in my head.  Really well put together.   It seems I have a great deal of catching up with your Dwellers series. I'd better take a week off.   Roy

Hi there Roy,  sorry I've taken some time to get around to your comment,  not been around.  I'm glad you thought this poem was well put together and I do so appreciate you letting me know your thoughts.  Thanks also for letting me know you're still following my story.  I've not written any more to it for quite some time, so I'm hoping it will give readers a chance to catch up.  You put a smile on my face with your comment about taking a week off to read.  I know the feeling well myself.  Hope you are not working to hard and managing to get some sunshine.  Take care.  Jenny.
