Alone In a Queen Sized Bed

alone in a queen sized bed grieving can be self indulgent partaken of in moments alone so needy to pull you back into my life my life ours no longer grieving is not wet most of the time it is dry heaving sobs of anger and aching skinraw untouched hours of night crashing on consciousness unbidden orpheus teach me slow slips into deep seas dark as the black side of a cold moon light memories like phosphorescent fish all teeth and no body dazzleblind here is the gate to hell god i hate you in this place you have crushed my heart scattered my love as carelessly as a child's pass through dry leaves what do i trade for you

A powerful, powerful piece of prose, Patricia...lots of highly charged and eye-catching lines; especially like: "Scattered my love as carelessly as a child's pass through dry leaves" - love it! My very best regards, Patricia - Cheers! :) john

Hi Patricia, small wonder that you know my poems so well. Only you can identify as I do yours. This is raw hurt and described like a master. Thank you so much for reading mine. Thank you for all the ki d empathy. I too feel yours. I read Wordaworth and qish that I could write about stuff other than personal agony as he did. I back to read this again. Love Jannie

As a grieving widow these are not emotions that can be displayed except in writing. You will write about lighter themes when you have drained the cup of despair and tossed it aside. Be patient it will come. Thank you for understanding.
