RoyceC Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 The sun went dark on my life today And all my dreams just fizzled away My heart was full of love and song I don't understand just what went wrong. Her love was mine, my life complete And then the call for us to meet My world was shattered, my heart undone A sky full of clouds put out the sun. Her love has passed, was what she said She loved another and now was wed She smiled the way I used to know And then she turned and started to go. I called out and cried for her to wait But soon I realized it was too late The dance in her step was all I could see It was something she'd never had with me. I turned and walked away from the past Love seems to be a sham, not born to last There must be a future, but what is it to be Dream after dream and then reality. I lay down to sleep and began to wonder Will I wake up to life or lightning and thunder And then realized that I just don't care My future is today and my life nowhere.

Dizzy Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Sorry to hear that but I thought maybe that was the case by the way it was worded. I'm sure a lot who read it will relate to what you said and I can from my younger years, life sucks at times eh but it always gets better Gosh I'm sounding like one of those agony columnists.. sorry I didn't mean to Welcome to the forum and have a look around at all the other topics and sections too as there's loads of chatting about all sorts of stuff on here so join in and if there's nothing that takes your fancy start some new topics. I'm getting bored of talking about vegies and energy prices now so any fresh input gratefully received Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugtifino Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Crikey Roy, don't want to get into the technical merits of this, but it does sound like you need to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 We've all been there -- and moved on -- but the ache doesn't move. It just gets repressed and ignored and comes to visit once in awhile. Love is ephemeral. We shouldn't take it for solid matter or elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 What a moving and poignant piece. Written from personal experience but inspired by that experience it has prompted you to reveal a talent that you may not have realised that you had. Hopefully this will lead you to write more as the muse takes you. So welcome and keep writing it can help ease the pains that life throws at you, be they new pains or pains from the past that occasionally come back to prod at the tender bits. It is these experiences that make us what we are. without them we would be someone else. Oh and fugs how do you know that the person has not already moved on and just decided to post this piece written many moons ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyceC Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 It was actually written some months ago...writing it enabled me to "move on" as you put it. It just brings to mind the old saying ..."Once bitten, twice shy". That is what I had to surmount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Most of us have to deal with this Royce - thank you for sharing it with us. (hugs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 When you find the girl who has a ‘dance in her step’ for you Roy, you’ll realize that love is a two way thing and anything else is in fact ‘a sham’. Then you’ll thank God you didn’t marry the girl of your poem! You express your emotions well,I think you have a talent for poetry. Thanks for sharing this with us have you written any more?

Sha Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Here's one on a more cynical note, (my taste in poetry is not particularly high brow I admit!) The Chat Up I thought he looked quite nice as he ladled some more ice....into my vodka. I liked his eyes, his hair, his smile and so we bantered for a while....sat upon our bar stools. He was tall and dark.... in fact quite fit! Full of fun and full of wit But he talked a load of shit!....God I meet some fools!
