Come springtime she said, our hearts will blossom
and those dark shadows will fade away
Come springtime, my love, for you and I
our stars will bring the light of day
And I believed her every word
our world of wonders, the sweet song bird
She was my life, my everything
and all the beauty that spring does bring
I knew no lips but hers on mine
no others touch so soft or kind
And thanked the Lord for such a love
she , this gentle lady, from above
But come the spring she flew away
off to the heavens, with God I pray

This is so sad. Love poems I can't write, I think pehaps i've penned four... to my knowledge at least four slightly ok ones. You have a great talent at this, wonderful work again.

A bittersweet lament Bob and very nicely done. Based on all I've read of your work you have a great capacity for penning poems concerning unrequited love. Perhaps this reflects your lifes experience. Mine's about whiskey dreams and shady ladies. I enjoy your work keep it up neighbor and happy trails.

A love like this , not even sightlessness can dissapate...

This is so sweet and the ending so sad. You did a great job of putting this down in pen. The rhyme and rythum flow perfectly and if this is about a true time, I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for the vivid imagery in this piece. I look forward to reading more of your writing.

Amazing
I could read your words all day. This is lovely. Thank you -
A soft and gentle write on a love now lost to heaven. Yet your poem is not sad but rather remembering and lingering in the glowing memories. very nice Bob...alby

MAGNIFICENT!!!
Wow, you weld your pen like a classic poet. I loved the context and the gentle love that flows between each word. Poignant and graceful...an artful combination that wins the heart. You should be very proud of this piece, it is truly ART.
BLESSINGS,

So Powerfully...
What a well written piece. Your depth - especially on this one - is striking. This struck me in a magnificent way. Your construction of it let me view your creativity and something of your take on life. It is very strong; intense in fact. A sorrowful piece filled my excellence in imagery and emotional, heart-tugging ability. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Very Tender.
Ah! Springtime the time for rebirth but also a time for new beginnings in other ways. Sometimes we lose our love to the heavens above and our life is saddened for a while. We must always remember that there is always the next life to be with them again, and that they are never forever gone from us. Such a pretty description of life and death this is. Beautiful poem and just wonderful to read.
-
Both sweet and melancholy. I liked this Bob....
-
Beautiful.................
and oh so sweet!!!!! I love this Bob!! You really show the kind and gentle side of yourself in this write. Did this love pass away??? I pray that love finds you again and sweeps you off your feet as this one did. We all deserve a great love at least once in our lives and sometimes we are lucky or blessed ebough to find it twice when wrong choices are made. At least that is my hope. Thanks for sharing your heart once again!!!~~Toni~~

Uncle Bob,
this is a beautifully written poem, but yet so sad.
life is so hard sometimes. losing a love, is very hard, something I have not experienced yet in life. I refuse to tell you what you told me to say, because its not true. you did another great job.

thoroughly touched me
This is such a wonderfully tender, deeply moving piece. I'm a sucker for a deep and gentle love.
Beautiful!

Did you mean...
...off to THE heavens?
I don't understand why you changed the rhyming pattern after the 1st verse ; sorry, but it can only detract from the poem rather than enhance IMO.
Having read the other critiquers, let me assure you that, so far, this is the only honest critique you've received, because IMHO, this is mediocre ; at best, only a fair effort.

Nice
Very nice poem, Mr Fox.
"But come the spring she flew away
off to they heavens, with God I pray"
Were my favorite lines...I don't want to repeat anything anyone else already said, so I'm just going to say...
Keep up the good work, and have fun

Surprise ending kept well
It was great. In the second stanza the wording is a little awkward given how the rest of it flows, but I'm not sure how to make it better. It's beautiful.

I have always wondered what it would be like to have a faithful lover. For me this is how it would end

Lovely Bob. Come Spring...
-
My goodness...every word of this is so beautiful...the theme is so lovely...it makes me already miss spring...and for all technicalities sake it isn't even winter.
"Come springtime she said, our hearts will blossom
and those dark shadows will fade away"
Those lines made the opening absolutely seraphic!
