Poem

so harrowing, life journey from radiant light to pitch-darkness - quote by poet.

 a (groaning) dread 
              nobody deserves 
to muddle through, 
       day after day; 
the loss of a spouse 
                via suicide.

 postpartum depression is a drag;
 it claims the wife 
of a (grief-stricken) widower 
          who's suddenly left 
to care for a newborn.

he struggles 
          to make sense of 
a tragedy he never anticipated;
 t    r    a    p    p    e    d 
in the (godforsaken) no man's land 
of confusion 
             and guilt.

just a fistful of months ago,
the couple floated 
           on seventh heaven, 
clutching on to 
the (gossamer) wings 
         of happiness 
                    as they celebrated 
the birth of their child.

mercilessly c   r  u  e  l 
reversals of fortune can sometimes be!...

each visit 
       to his wife's (grave), he asks
 a myriad of whys...
"baby, why leave me and your son?" 
"why couldn't you hold on?" 
"why did I fail to save you?"
"dear lord, why me? why let this happen?" 

with the rusty gate of grief
           closed behind him, 
he wanders through 
life's (ghostly), barren landscape,
                 perennially asking himself...

 "what could I have done?" 

    no rain 
          can ever wash out 
               the pain 
                     in his eyes.
