Poem -
Submerged In The Canals Of Venice
Â
Gone, is my greatest love
my broken heart drowned
not in the ocean
but
in the Grand Canal
Â
ripped away from my chest
from unforgiving love
now dead
lying under the gray murky water
on a rock all alone
a gondola
with a couple of lovers on board
floats by with dreams of a future entwined
surrounded by red roses on their love vessel
they cannot see my heart underneath
why, would they even want to see such a thing?
my heart, that’s tossed into the grand canal
no hope of a heroic rescue
it will simply stay there...
until decay takes its course
submerged in the canals of venice.

Hello Shirley! I hope you are well and just having a break. I miss you here! Your good writings, sense of humour (giving us a smile) and the friendship you give to your fellow poets. I bet Bernie is missing you.Â
I choose this poem because back in May I was in Italy with my family.  Venice, Florence, Tuscany, Umbria, Rome…
just imagine, if by fate you & I crossed the same path in Florence (we were there for 6 days). It’s fun to think. Return to us soon. Warm wishes,
Bernadete Â
