Blue petals of a forget-me-not
juxtaposed against a white headstone
weighing heavily upon my heart;
I play my violin all alone.

Looking out of place against marble,
a blue as vivid as crimson blood
rebuffs the paling pallor of death;
conveyed in the promise of its bud.

The icy hand of fear grips my heart
shrouded in a cerulean hue;
callused fingers caressing the strings,
that lament the love I felt for you.

Grief resonates within every note,
sending sad tears trickling down my cheeks;
evoking intimate memories,
granting my soul the comfort it seeks.

Good Morning Emile. Allow me to simply say this is poetry in the most truest and traditional fashion. It is lovely throughout. Allow me to say it is also very sad. However the saddest entries make for such beautiful expressions. I very much enjoyed your title for it is fitting and set the tone for what was to come. Well done

As long as we have happy memories to console and comfort us, eventually the dark ones will fade. Still around but not as evident. Nicely done my friend.
