Dark

Sadness is a dark and lonely world

Dark

 

 

I can feel the empty loneliness, the dire sadness in your words

Black on white letters arranged in sorrows indelible font

Tear drop tense in flowing cradles of desperation

sad eyes of whys, question mark patterns

on stark gray silk, neatly pressed

offered no one in particular,

a butterfly necklace

weeping on skin

fading slowly

into the

dark

~

“I fell and my eyes could not see,

you were gone and my heart shattered”

~

dark

gloomy

skies drip

memories from

charcoal rain clouds

flooding emotions on the brink

blinding the sight of anything good

dancing on the broken stoop of splintered

dreams and broken hearts clinging barely to breath

screaming to invisible heavens and gagged reasons lost

somewhere beyond the here and there, where she does wait

everything about this poem is exquisite. The shape, the words, the images it gives me behind my eyes. I love it in its darkness and sadness. I can feel every word.

Hey there, old friend! This is exquisitely crafted in form, thought, and presentation. I can linger over passages and ponder for quite some time. I feel it deeply (been there as you know) however, as touching as it is, I am able to read it, reflect on my own experiences and not shed a tear... That too makes me ponder - I must be truly looking ahead :)
Hope your weekend is blessed, Jack!
