Grief

To my second brother.

Sorrows built diurnal nest in her heart,
Fetching a flood of tears to assist at night.
Owing to the loss of her indefectíble gift,
In her heart, diurnal nest sorrows built.

like a candle lost flare,
Immense pain of reminiscence, her share.
Consoling enquirers import your departure in detail ,
Lost flare, like a candle.

Your portrait on the wall,
The garland of roses compete with your smile, they fail.
The reflections of glittering lamp ornate
On the wall, your portrait.

You are now among angels.
And with your absence she struggles.
Still melancholy flows with vigor
Now among angels, you are.

This a tough one. To lose someone close is bad enough.
But when you think that person is getting better, and then they're taken away from you is devastating.

Thank you, you thoughtful review is very kind.

Sometimes when folk are suffering it is a blessed relief to see them pass on and this seems to make the loss more bearable. Tis different when loved ones are taken suddenly or after a short illness as there is no time to prepare the heart for what is in the offing.
Beautiful words Mrudula.
Hope you are all well.....here's a big hug ( ) :))

My brother's demise was very unexpected. After He was declared cancer free( was a heavy smoker) and given a clean bill of health. Life is full of surprises and some of them beat us to pulp!
Thank you dear for your kind words, and loved your big hug.Have a great Sunday. Uma grande abraço de novo! ( a very tight hug back to you)

[Gee]

Got the hug, thanks :))

I was visiting my sister in law ... theirs was a love marriage, now she is alone and my heart aches for her. Thank you, dear Emmajoy for your kindness.
I was mesmerized by your poem 'what's in a rhyme ' and was lingering on your page in admiration!

When it comes to this and that, guess memories help to remind us how much it hurts to hurt. Please pass on a hug.. if appropriate. x

[Mrudula Rani]

Thank you dear friend.

One dearly loved is gone; no doubt, difficult for those who remain--better, perhaps, for the departed.
Still, we hurt.

[Mrudula Rani]

Thank for your kind words, JY.

I lost two brothers to suicide. Losing a brother. Hard to understand. Powerful and honest words. Somethings, the heaty shall never understand. Thank you my friend for sharing your words and your thoughts.

You are welcome Mrudula.

This is a truly moving dedication methinks and the hurt and loss clearly genuine and tangible to those who seek these words out, or who otherwise stumble upon them by chance... I know it wont really make much difference my friend, but I am here thinking of you now and pray your hurt will become more bearable.. night, night M....

[Mrudula Rani]

Thank you dear Neville. It has been exactly 2 years in September, and I miss him terribly. Thank you for your comforting words my friend. Good night ( boa noite querido )

sometimes it is an honour to read someone else's work, sometimes a privilege, reading these, for me, was both..... N
