After The Concert Poem by Laurie hill

After The Concert

Rating: 5.0


After,
we lay in each others arms,
Whispering gentle words
I brushed the hair from your cheek,
and traced a tear,

After,
holding you tenderly,
never wishing to let go,
feeling your heartbeat,
touching your soul.

After,
the concert, where you were meant to be,
I was alone again,
After everything we said,
You returned to him:

Not a word too much or too little. It starts like any romantic poem and then the sad sweet ending is a surprise. I wasn't expecting it.

You paint a beautiful scene with a sensory touch hinting at the substance of the story letting us fill in the missing parts.

ineffably sad but stolen fruits tend to leave a bitter aftertaste

The ending made me say: ouch! But this is quite a story, my friend, and could happen in reality. It's amazing how brilliantly captured it in this piece. You're great! : -)

Laurie, this is so gentle and tender. The lovely words you use, make me feel so very sad... Although your words are soft, there is such strong pathos through the poem from you to touch the reader's sympathetic heart. Top marks! Karin Anderson
