The pain is gone.
The giant tear I clutched,
uncried,
has leaked away.
Only the love is real.
It shimmers in my mind
like a golden sun at dawn.
Our arguments, the jealousies,
imagined treasons, bitter words,
have all dissolved
and only tender memories remain -
of gentle mornings,
football games,
meals prepared and cleared away -
the tuneless songs you hum
and prayers we prayed.
No accidently joining ours!
A collision caused in time!
A karmic roller-coaster ride!
with hairpin turns
and high sky dives!
But now at last
peace has arrived.
Explosions gone.
The walls thrown up in grief
have tumbled down.
And now -
no longer blind
my heart can find
the quiet,
endless love
you are
inside.

Wow – Are you lucky you had all that — “good” and “bad” – You apparently had it all. I’m still waiting for the love of my life and have just lately been inviting him in. As Wayne Dyer says -
“He’s on the way” … Such a beautiful and prolific writer you are. Keep them coming.
Loved this beautiful poem. Thought I had read all of them.
Don’t remember this one but keep them coming.
Stunning.
Dear Grace, June and Michelle -
This poem is from my book, Reflections from A Woman Alone. As you can tell, it is true experience from my life.
Yes, I have forgiven him. But it was a wild and interesting ride. I would not have missed it.
Thank you for blessing us with you sharing this beautiful poem.
Lovely, Corinne. Keep doing what you are doing.
Ten years down the line and I still don’t feel like this. Mostly I don’t think about the past, I have moved on and I don’t seek revenge; but if my former partner were to come before me in a firing squad – I would pull the trigger.
Loved this beautiful poem. Thought I had read all of them.
It’s a excellent write.
