Loving you is easy,
doesn’t take much effort,
to keep your memories,
in my heart.
The times when,
we were so much in love,
Faithfully stay with me,
never to part.
I am transported back to,
those magical times in my life,
When I was ridiculously happy,
Was so much in love.
That the mere mention,
of your name was enough,
to send me into,
raptures of delight.
I was surviving till I met you,
Then I started to live.
I bring up your name,
in my conversations,
anyhow.
Talking about you,
makes you seem closer,
I happen to miss you less.
somehow.
Days merge into nights ,
without any respite,
From the heartache,
of your absence,
From my empty life.
Lucky aka Sulekha

Oh Sulekkha, this is a sad one:(
That last stanza especially.
Sulekha, you've captured the emotions of loss and grieving so beautifully. I think one never fully gets over a lost love. I knew someone who had lost her husband half a lifetime ago, yet tears would well up in her old eyes: "He made me so happy."
what man,what hero, or god. shall wake thy lyre, thy flute with sweetness trill; whose name shall playful echo send abroad. in whispers from her hill? Horace 25 BC love poem i like it. keep writing god bless
Oh so lovely and tender.

@Debra, Life is sad sometimes, love it anyway. Thanks for appreciating my poem.
@Lavina, We are so vulnerable when we are in love and losing a loved one is traumatic. The memories help but only to an extent, after that there is pure and raw pain. Thanks for your beautiful compliment.
@Roy, Thank you so much, everytime I post something new, I look for your comments. Appreciate your compliments a lot.
@Mari, Thank you for visiting my blog and for liking my post.Welcome and stay a while.
Sad and yet beautiful. Like it is said "Tis better to have loved and lost than to have never at all".
Thank you Rimly, Is it? Some people might differ in their opinion about this controversial topic. I feel you hurt when you are in love too, it's a different kind of ache though.
Oh Lucks, this hit me hard...beautiful words...I can almost feel the heart ache in the those words....loved it as usual...
Swati, thank you so much for all the sweet things you say about my posts....<3
Loved it Sulekha...I can feel the pain..as I can totally relate to it.
The loss of a great love is hard to grasp. The feelings and emotions are always kept alive with memories of those tender moments
@Motifs, thanks Alpana...remember the happier times too, maybe then the pain will lessen.

@Isabelle, Thanks for the comment and visit to my blog.Appreciate the compliment.
Makes me wonder WHY we have to lose Love?? WHAT can be more important than to be in the arms of a true lover??
Lucky... Loved it when you said... "I was surviving till I met you, Then I started to live."
Now that you are gone... why can't I go back to 'surviving' with the same ease???
@Sheba, Love makes us crazy and we never recover ever again. Thanks for appreciating my poem.

hmmm... i open my heart to many possibilities... the heart is capable of recuperation ;)... just give it time to heal...
Mellisa, As long as we live, it will hurt. Some days it will be a happy ache and on other days a gut wrenching pain. Love is so predictably unpredictable.Thanks for the comment.
