"PAST LOVES"

"PAST LOVES"
Margaret Ann Waddicor 25th March 2011.

I loved him, 
I still love him,
he's dead now.

I loved him too, 
I still love him too,
he's dead now too.

I loved her,
I still love her, 
she's dead now.

Their presence comes 
and goes by, 
the warmth of feelings rise 
and give caresses in the day.

In the night, 
one senses they are there,
alive,
their souls 
or air
that holds sweet memories,

as love's sweet memories 
survive.

I think this has the simplicity that is sometimes lacking in poetry, the thought a whole, and at first I thought it was too trivial or short or whatever, but then the words, for me who felt each person mentioned present, took on the right amount of emphasis and rang true.

We remember those we love in special ways don't we, Love Ann (&J)

YOUR COMMENT ON KAILASHNA'S POEM

Robert Frost, was ultimately awarded a
Nobel Prize
And his poem
ROAD LEAST TAKEN, speaks volumes of his characteristic, of a person born with the qualities of a four i.e. 2 6. 3 .1 8 7 4. =31=4 when reduced to a single digit.
A person who always takes the opposing stand, as does Prez Obama, 4th august 1961 born

FROST'S DATE OF BIRTH as you say is
26th march 1874
That makes him an Aries a Fire sign
And you admire him a
As you yourself are a Fire sign Leo.

THANKS FOR THIS LOVELY ANALYSIS
AS IT HELPS IN MY STUDY OF THE HUMAN MIND
Regards ma'am

loved
