Someone...... So Long Ago Poem by Lora Colon

Someone...... So Long Ago

Rating: 5.0


Someone, so long ago
Listened while I sang my lonely song,
He understood each sad refrain
And chose to sing along

And when he sang I knew
Our two souls were destined to combine;
With three words he conquered my heart,
And lit the flame divine

Had the sun ever shone
As brightly before he came to me?
Life seemed worthless, without meaning -
A pointless destiny

Suddenly, life made sense,
I was a prisoner he set free;
The rain felt good, birdsong was sweet,
I touched infinity!

A beautiful bouquet
He offered me when he came to call,
But the flowers were not mine to keep,
Soon Fate reclaimed them all

But Love's fire is undying,
Though an ember, it still casts a glow,
Reminding me how much I loved
Someone...... so long ago

Another beautiful poem, Lora. It's sad that your still yearning for the love you knew so long ago. I'm sure he's still thinking the same way about you. Love of that quality never dies.

Even though time comes between love and it's memory, the sentiments remain within, strong and ever-lasting. Very beautiful imagery of a memory. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn

One love is true That makes heart his abode Mind still recalls whole a life Like nice from-heaven ode Turns to smile my big strife

Though the nostalgic warmth between the lovers may diminish but its sentimental grasp will remain for a long time to come till they, hopefully, get re-united. Nice poem. With gentle force he seized my heart, Then lit the flame divine
