Nette Onclaud Poet Dramatic Verse

A Soul Hemorrhaged

I feel life breaking a glass, any glass
Or screaming at anyone with or without cause
For now, my breath and tears find no rest,
Seething on a bomb of fury, time claims a place
For rage piercing through my gut too deep...

I never knew he has gone beyond the stars
My soul hemorrhaged, my innocence vandalized--
Please tell me this is night's cruel illusion
Night prayers dripping  stains of candle wax!

I blow like a dam but only silence hits back
My damn, damn being cries for hallowed nest 
While he has traveled off in a land without maze,
And I continue to cringe...searching for
Quiet within an unforgiving self
I drown in explosions of why...

Why is Daddy suddenly dead?

Frederic Parker July 1, 2025 at 9:04 AM Nice... Nette, your poem explores the depth of pain one feels when a father or mother is gone, the why's can never be answered...Frederic
