Love Departed Poem by Rekha Mandagere

Love Departed

Rating: 4.7


Freshness of love made me lively
To give up the life of solitude boldly
Year after year we loved happily
Hand in hand ever walked closely

Shockingly arose a whirlpool of strangers
Who wished to measure the worth of lovers.
I spiritedly climbed the hill in a second
And swam with the tides to far beyond

They uttered in chorus Great! Great!
But the final test to win was already set
Plucking away my root was only their trial
Implanting New Belief was their word final

Hearing that terrific crime I was taken aback
Inner voice cautioned me never look back!

An interesting poem dear friend, I try to read it again and again, am not very sure to understand the end. To me it sounded like such a happy time you had with your loved one than others came admired you and wanted to add beside that sweet love, something that made you run and cry.. I seem to feel quite strange the lines: They uttered in chorus Great! Great! But the final test to win was already set Plucking away my root was only their trial Implanting New Belief was their word final to me, sounds like a scene the from a tv studio..it does let you think that you have the chance of a choice, than takes from you with the both hands..

This may be an earlier poem, but I feel it is wanting to expand more. The flow is fine, but I am sure there is more expression for what is a hard subject. Good work though.

Great piece of work; and this is part of the experiences of love. But, we have to keep the fire burning always; no matter how hard it is. Thank you for sharing it with us. E.K.L.

Very nice penning, in fact true love is always threatened, it is envied mostly.
