When True Love Dies

When True Love Dies

By: Adam M. Snow

True love cries when lovers die;

When the stars twinkle upon despair.

Lovers die when true love cries;

When the scent of death taints the air.

short and simple. in just a single stanza, you have summed up the despairing emotion of a love so true then lost through death.
truly beautiful and i do agree that your poems have a Shakespearean feel.

so much emotion in such few lines. Awesome piece and well written

[realmwriter]

Very interesting... Well written and too the point.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I agree a very Shakespearian feel to the poem... you packed a lot of emotion into those few lines. That makes it so very intense.

[tekphobik]

Yes. I love how you achieve minimum depth with minimalistic intensity. It's great how you link love and death together, a modern Shakespearean masterpiece of understatement.

Yep.

[Coyote Poetry]

True and beautiful words. You said it all in so few words. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
