Notes About The Poem

Forsaken Open Parasol

Lost in the alleys of despair my heart an open parasol Protection of gray clouds and rain over the darkest hole I curse every weeping tear from my forsaken eyes Empty promises discarded into a trash-heap Doors locked from the inside to an invisible keyhole Limbs spread to sweet pain moans echo to warm door Averting leaping into what was left over lost sleep Darkness, Silence, Loneliness, Anxious whispers of failures is all I can hear Broken and vulnerable living deep in gray soul Stop the rain from falling shining the way To awake to a close parasol and sunshine

Stunning image, the heart as open parasol, the invisible keyholes - and the very first line "lost in the alleys of despair" . A seven. Congrats on your win, Eve. Agnes

Really nicely done Eve. The dark tones and the sadness are perfectly expressed to the point I feel them touching me. You have an amazing talent. Thank you for sharing it with us.
