This poem reminds me of Lord Tennyson's famous poem ‘Home they brought her warrior dead’…A fitting acknowledgement opens out the barrel of sorrow here. A loss big and sad equally to both… ‘Her race is run and she has won’…most touching and painful this line, Ivor…
very sad and beautiful poem....this isn't based on personal experience is it. I saw that it says 'the love between two women'....either way, very sad, im sorry if this is about a personal loss
Amazingly painful to read. The scene remains fixed in the reader's mind. Thanks for writing this one.
A love so strong, the very earth would bounce...lovely piece Ivor...you are the master when it comes to writing true unconditional themes. Best wishes my friend Jon
A very beautiful description of true love. Another moving poem. Thank you Ivor. Best wishes, John.
