It seems I started this poem So many years ago I cannt follow its ending And must begin anew. a great poetic experience. thank you dear poet. tony

There is a comfort in The strength of love." I quote Another favourite You vouchsafed me. Please note.....touching expression. Beautiful poem. Thanks and congratulations for being chosen this poem as the modern poem of the day.

'The lack of hope or faith: Neither is justified. I have closed out the night. The random rain outside' - loved these lines!

This poem has deeper meaning than it seems from the surface. The poet thinking of the past and his life Remembering all things, most in the past, I cite one of his lines: Old love wells up again, All that I thought had slipped This is not with a woman the words are suited for a man-to-man attitude CONGRATULATIONS for the Modern Poem Of The Day.

Why does he prefer to be alone? Why does he not take somebody else for to chat? Why did he not hold the hand in firm grip? It is just the result of wavering in one's own belief. He himself has digressed and deviated from. That love is not love if it materializes it not.

There is a comfort in The strength of love." The lack of hope or faith: Neither is justified.....love is power of life; without faith or hope no confidence comes to help the life

Yet what survives is Bach And a few blackberries Extraordinary love - broken relationship, not gone! Dear Poet, Congratulations for portraying with a deft hand!

Anaesthetised by years I think of you today... Remembering a relationship with tenderness and love! Depicted beautifully! Thanks for creating this lovely piece!

Lovely poem with the power of music weaving through the generalized losses of a love filled with hope.

" My present while" ! ! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Blame, some bitterness, I recall there were these. Yet what survives is Bach And a few blackberries....................../// excellent poetic expression

What a simple and straightforward diction and still so effective, a style that reminds one with glimpses of Robert Frost. Lovely.

There is comfort In the strength of love. Great write and truth too. Thanks for sharing.

Even though the relationship is over, I like how this poet still can be tender about the love that was. Extraordinary heart in this awesome piece.

Charmed by this- the frayed letters- the new light yet to come and respect for the past
