I once believed

 

I once believed

the rising sun

would glaze the sky

in wondrous scenes

 

Of pink champagne,

a morning blend

with apricots

and tangerines

 

The day would bring

a gentle kiss

of breezes soft

with jasmine scent

 

As flowers bloom

and robins sing

melodically

of moments spent

 

An evening sky

would dazzle bright

of shimmered stars

and moonlit shine

 

That we would sit

alone each night

so much in love

and you were mine

 

Though now I see

just cloudy days

as rain drops fall

midst sorrow weaved

 

Since you are gone

they fade from sight

those wondrous things

I once believed

maybe if we just enjoy them and not believe, they will stay...

Such a sad twist of fate...Wistful and beautiful words, dear Willweb.
So hard to keep believing in wonderful things when those who matter go away.

[willweb]

That is how it seems my friend. Thank you.

[DIVYA]

Have a nice day.

The beauty of all the wonderful things that shone in life was amplified by love and without it those things seems less vibrant. Beautiful poem.

[willweb]

You can say that again.
Thank you Ciara. I am happy you enjoyed this.

[Gee]

Gone but not forgotten though gone and forgotten would be better for the heart.
Beautifully written

I feel the author's sadness and separation. Things lose their meaning and purpose that comes with someone special.
Hang in there. Things will get better and clear up with time.
