My Erato


Recommended Posts

I am thrilled with the responses received from my friends here on the forum; so far, my poetry has not caused heated debate!

If you don't mind, and because of your encouragement, I would like to post more of my poems here. It is one of my passions, to present feeling and emotion common to all, that can be shared, through he written word. May you be blessed and encouraged by these offerings of mine. Thank you so very much.

My Erato

A sigh encased within a teardrop,

One of many shed upon her leaving;

Memories, each one, rapidly shown

On the silver screen of my mind,

A documentary devoid of words

Of times fleeting spent together.

Even knowing beforehand

The duration of her short visit

To my world of joy and sorrow,

Did not make the parting less painful;

When she returned home to the stars,

All I could do was look heavenward,

Standing in the center of night;

Perhaps a glimpse of twinkling eyes.

Again, thank you for the the kind words. I've been writing since grade school (thank the Lord those early manuscripts had long disappeared) but really didn't start putting it all together until after I retired in 2000 and had some time to devote :beach: .
