Oft’ Broken
...Are the hearts of those left
from the beloved’s depart’d
The promises that held tight
hope, love forever guarded
Those ties bound like knotted
fingers joyously lost in forever
A mirror, reflectin’ so many
of their years spent together
Oft’ broken...are paired voices
that sang happiness’ high
Sadly sever’d, when the union
of two...transposes one to sky.
Author's Note
Dedicated to the memory of a wonderful elderly couple, whom I truly care about... sadly the husband just passed n’ his wife no longer desires living...

I attended the funeral of an aunt's husband this past Monday. They had been married 68 years. My aunt, though in attendance, has been lost to dementia for the past few years. I left wondering which of the two was more fortunate.
Beautiful piece, Poe.

I know, I truly would rather be dead, rather than existing like a ghost in a shell... no memory of me nor anyone else... I do thank you my dear for ur thoughts n support always
Re. Oft’ Broken
Your author's note adds such a bittersweet sadness to this poem. This one is really well, written and expressive... I really liked it.
"Oft’ broken...are paired voices
that sang happiness’ high
Sadly sever’d, when the union
of two...transposes one to sky."
Those last 2 lines were pure poetry... great write.
