Forever May Poem by Edmund V. Strolis
Forever May
I slip away from the joyful crowd
Sun dresses, moonlight and wedding vows
Give me strength to play this part
A practiced smile to mask my heart.
Because nobody is lovely tonight
And these moments can never feel right
She alone, after all of this time
Is the soft sweet refrain in my mind
No, no one is lovely tonight
As I wait for the last wedding song
Crescent moon you alone feel right
Forever waning but never quite gone.
Dang, Edmund! —this is an excellent lyrical poem. I especially like the crescent moon image. Don’t know if you write music. If not, maybe find someone, for this, it seems to me, easily lends itself to a song. -Glen
i see ur a great poet but of darkness I am adding u do read some lovely ones if you feel o poet these poems may uplift the darkness of your dreams when as in nightmares all scream once in a way we all do nothing about life is solely true we face such maleficence every now and then o Poet why alone must you repent Reading some romantic ones may shed off the glum you are on line at this time so chime read my two poems moms smiles and mothers day today you are welcome by poet me
Thank you very much dear poet. For those who know me I challenge them to live fully. To begin the day new. I mean to startle them with my excitement which is as real as I am. Understanding those things which are sad and deeply felt are lessons in appreciation. We learn by living and take these lessons to heart. These dark poems only help me to see the light much more clearly.
Deprivation is that candlelight tonight and every night which alone makes in all humans a perpetual candle light none can match ever after that fateful night but only then poetry comes to sight and does sighs alight but the glow has already gone leaves one forlorn morn after morn, Ghalib went Omar Khayyam too out of life's battle will be left out me and you
I hardly know where to begin, what to think, but perhaps in humble appreciation I will say thank you. Which seems hardly fitting and yet when accepted within the spirit given can be measured as worthy.
Give me strength to play this part A practiced smile to mask my heart. We all cherish and pine for those times when life was a full. Now much waning has come over, still we want to hide it and try to put on a mask of cheerfulness! Like the crescent moon, something remains and that gives us hope! A poem deep in meaning, but sad in tone!
Thank you Valsa, the writing comes from a personal place. An image burned into my mind once of a lovely one. The memory burned once but now remains as a feeling that I live with, more like a glowing ember now or a crescent moon. Lessons learned! Thank you for the insightful comment. Hope all is well in the land where you live under the same moon!
beautifully penned about the loss and pain which is masked by a smile, and how the mind finds solace
The realization that nobody is lovely tonight is no negative comment toward anyone. They may be many things but to be lovely like love is not a shared crown, Thank you...

Such a beautiful write. Love the rhyme. So much contained in this short poem. So so readable n penetrative. Touched my soul.
