Before The Storm Comments

I was waiting for the lift but it never came. Like John I am grateful for my wife and even those quietly passing silences together. Life has to be accepted as providing sadness on occasions which we all know. May you be sustained by your memories. Wonderful words. Thank you.

I just cannot imagine life without my lovely wife. This poem makes me appreciate just how lucky I am to have her. Your poem is beautiful Val - as always.

Missing the times of sweet togetherness tastes bitter but after some time we cherish the memories of these sweet times with a heart that still sheds some tears but leaves behind the bitterness. I wish you so much strength, Val. Another wonderful poem, in which manage to really move the reader. You are a great poet

Mind is fleeting across the planes of a reminder of pain and the perpetual predicament of yours will one day be overcome by you alone Val.

Agony so touchingly expressed, what can we say.........? Beautifully written, Val.

Could it be that the full measure of Forever is filled with memories... and a promise

Nature's fury is unpredictable. Things are nice one moment and turn unbearable the next. We need to linger on.

A beautiful poem about wanting the one you love.

That's a beautiful poem Val. Rhyme and meter just perfect for the content of the poem. Hugznstuff.

So dark and emotional poem. Before the storm, it was nice, good, beautiful. But storm came and left behind but a broken heart. Nice work, sir. Each stanza conveys a particular thought yet it does defile perfection of the rhymes. . Joseph Oladehinde Ibikunle (Nigeria)
