Dear all;

Here are three new poems for you all to enjoy!

Three parts of the same puzzle, or maybe not?

Enjoy!
Cheers

Nothing to Save (I)

The petals fell into the fountain
At sunset
As I watched you
Walk into the distance.

The petals fell into the fountain
At sunset
As I watched you
Turn back
And shout I love you.

The petals fell dripped into
The base of the fountain
As I watched you
Stand there
And start crying.

And when the petals
Soft as the bed in the earth
Started to reflect
In the moonlight
I almost wanted
To run back towards you
And hold you in my arms
One more time.

But I disappeared back into
The shadows.

****

Nothing to Save (II)

There is nothing to rescue
When I see
Petals drowning
In the fountain
At sunset.

There is nothing to rescue
When I see
Tears start to form
On their slight frames.

Perhaps if I'd got
There earlier
I could have reached
Out and held them in
My arms.

But like my memories of you
Perhaps it is best
To let them drown.

****
Nothing to Hide (III)

Don't make me start again
under moonlight.

Don't tell me you love me again
under moonlight.

Don't hold my hand again
under moonlight.

Just let me walk again
from the shadows
and step across the moonlight
separating our love.
