As Love Gives Poem by James Timothy Jarrett

As Love Gives

Rating: 4.8


I once cared for you

And loved

And gave

As love gives

All that I had

And you gave in return

Your cold smile

And empty words

That promised nothing

But love

And now you have become

Nothing

But a bitter memory

there are some words that always carry maximum import in a certain poem...in this one the way you have used the word'nothing'....is the most impressive and pressing one...it brings home the finality of the bitter tragedy.

a good writer always likes how his write should be read and interpreted...the style of poem presentation is one way...here the style and lingua both are impressive, James...10

You are masterful at writing of the saddest and darkest things. This has to be read slowly and it seeps into the heart in the reading. Potent in the extreme. Fay.
