This is really lovely. It has a soft, romantic feeling even with the cloud of death about it. As with most deeply romantic and "true love" stories, it must have the threat of loss in order to make the fullness of love shine. Nicely done. Thank you for sharing.

Hi alpaca,
What a beautiful poem! I can see why it's a nominee for poem of the month. Your a real master of the word. This has such a lovely chime to it and allows one to just slide through the poem with no bumps at all. I enjoyed reading it.

Lovely work!
Good Luck

Helvi :o)

How did I miss this one? It is absolutely riveting and so heartrendingly sad. Your words echo of pleadingly of abiding, lonely love. This one HAS to win first place. It is so tragically romantic. Best of luck. Gets my vote. Blessings to you, Chris, Linda

Wow, this poem is filled with such sadness, of love lost to death. You describe so well the longing and endless search for that loved one lost.Sad, so very sad. Emotional anguish!
Good luck in the contest.
