The rose inflamed with fragnance
Has made me cry
For my memories are working
In overtime with every sniff
How you used to send me a rose
Each year on my birthday
Saying you were thinking of me
I kept them all in my copy of poems
That wrote for you
But it's been years since you did that
And I don't remember when you stopped
I guess you found yr true love
Leaving me broken and desolate
Waiting in the desert with cups of sand
To serve you
LeeAnn, I think that Sting would really appreciate your wonderful poem and kind gesture. I saw him together with Annie Lennox. What a great concert!
Heartfelt write. Waiting in the desert with cups of sand to serve- great imagery. Thanks for sharing.
'cups of sand To serve you' is the highlight...interesting write
This is definitely a remarkable piece....thank u, dear poetess...
Beautifully, emotionally charged, poignant.. love lost leaves such a vacuum in the heart…
Beautifully and so sadly inspired. A love betrayed is the most painful, even once expired. An forgettable, excellent piece!
This is wonderful, LeeAnn! I really enjoyed the imagery, such as 'The rose inflamed with fragrance has made me cry, ' and 'Waiting in the desert with cups of sand to serve you.' 5 stars.
Ever so heart moving! .. And powerfully expressed! .. Straight to the heart! .. Beyond #ing! ..+++++++++++++++++++
This stings the heart! sorry had to go there! . I really love the imagery you invoke, its evocative, and embracing. I wish I could write like this. Great tribute to a great musician
