Crazed By Grief

Nighttime falls shrouded dark and spiritless, Wavering fire a glaze dying cinder. In grim silence tears ebb and flow aimless, Lips quake angry filled breath growing dimmer. Loneliness devours inch by inch loves amber, Left raw to feel the flesh stretch. Brittle crust Steady smoldering embers, numb anger, Solace grieving soul filled volcanic dust. It worsens with the tick-tock of the clock. None can replace time, not a second in A day hidden beneath insensate lock. Days overwhelming calamities sin. Loneliness niggles as the mind wanders Bound by loves suffering also ponders. 1/14/2020

This is a beautiful poem Eve-- its beauty lies in the profound love you feel to cause such grief. There is no remedy for that pain but from what others have told me, from the extensive reading I've done, and from my own strange experiences, I know the dead are not dead, every personality continues and their souls appear to be aware of what we are going thru, even rarely appearing to those 'left'. In time God willing we are reunited with them as love never dies [my mother's last words to me.]

Beautiful Eve. It does seem when our world is idle and the mind wanders often those sad memories appear.
