Grief

He could no longer sleep in their bed Their room left untouched unlike his heart He remembered all the things she had said Fifty years they had never been apart No one understood him the way she did Their room left untouched unlike his heart When they met she had looked like a kid Her pretty eyes followed his gaze No one understood him the way she did She allowed him his peculiar ways Others saw him as a grumpy guy Her pretty eyes followed his gaze She lost the battle he wonders why He was angry there was so little time Others saw him as a grumpy guy She told him everything would be fine He was angry there was so little time He could no longer sleep in their bed He remembered all the things she had said

I decided to read a few older poems rather than new ones, now I quite enjoyed this poetry, even it is so touching and sad.

A sad and moving poem. I especially like the last stanza. No matter how much time we have, it always seems like it is not enough

Thanks Drake I was inspired by the movie Unfinished Song staring Vanessa Redgrave.

Richard, you do so well with this form. I hope this is what Susan was wanting for her contest. I saw her blog today and worried that my poem is not what she wanted, because I went the humorous route. but for me, this denotes a man's grief in a specific way and it was interesting for me to read. Very nicely done.

Susan asked for a max of 14 lines. I am not entering this one but I liked the topic so wrote this one for the sake of writing.
