Paste

Sorrow numbs The mind like Paste in cling film Nothing can Penetrate You squeeze it With your thumb All over shapeless Lump I know how a heavy Heart feels _ no Pep in the step I can’t imagine you Anymore !

Awww, a sad one here. Hey, I was just reviewing my list of fav poets and realized I have not seen you in such a long while. What's up with you? It's good to see this is a more recent poem from you! Luv, Andrea

Heartbreaking poem, my friend. The sorrow and the numbness don't allow you to feel her presence. A heavy heart, indeed, David. Hope this doesn't reflect the way you are feeling at this time. Love, Carolyn
