Eve Roper Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Dark Roots Embrace Thee

Where have
You gone
Consumed by tears and mournful dirge
Silent poetry flows with lamented wind
Thy gaunt
Look wanes
Each night.

Dark roots
Embrace thee,
Deep-seated sorrow unsettling and numbing.
Erstwhile bitter struggles, hesitating in darkness;
Thy soft
Bare lips
Grave laden.

Darkness awakes
The unhurried
Moon, cooling the unburnished fractured heart;
Never an earthly seraph to console
Thy lament
Dissipating soul’s
Ceaseless  ache.
