Foolish Love

Again we touched
an October day
our love seemed 
so far away

not in hearts 
shared by love
but by a person like me
as a sentimental does

with no affection
or hope returned
 these empty arms
will be my Urn.

Love this!

Sad, poignant, yet no bitterness. My interpretation may be way off but I see it as you being unable to fully accept that October love, leaving your arms an empty urn. Beautifully written and expressed Cheers, Jess, Reprehensibly irrepressible, "the alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short-circuit destroying the mind." [Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged]

This is a poem we went to in chat and we all had read it and elf was the one to make the comment as each one of had a turn at a lonely listed poem. I felt it was a sad poem but only you can write what it is at the moment in time when you processed the words. I know you share much love in your heart for all others and your family and I will be back to visit you once again friend. Love and Hugs at ya Mona xoxox TIME well spent is TIME well lived
