The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poetry Break, 11/25/07 |

"Sonnet II"
Time does not bring relief; you all have lied Who told me time would ease me of my pain! I miss him in the weeping of the rain; I want him at the shrinking of the tide; The old snows melt from every mountain-side, And last year's leaves are smoke in every lane; But last year's bitter loving must remain Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide! There are a hundred places where I fear To go,—so with his memory they brim! And entering with relief some quiet place Where never fell his foot or shone his face I say, "There is no memory of him here!" And so stand stricken, so remembering him!
—Edna St. Vincent Millay

Oh, this one hits home...
How much you can never know...
What a terrific poet she was...
And it makes me weep...
Alas, for the old love...
Still so vivid here in my heart, my soul...
