Brenda Chiri Poet Free verse

Hurricane of Grief

Standing on the sands 
of helplessness, 
as waves of sadness 
lap at my feet  
I know not what holds 
your voice hostage, 
unable to comfort it 
only baffles 
At an ocean's length 
of pain, 
an essence cannot even 
take wing on a breeze 

So sadness is held in 
a blanket of love 
If the heart is not mended, 
then love's breath 
cannot 
bring it back 
A storm of uncertainty 
tries to overtake 
A need to absorb the pain,  
making it taste of wanting 
to be lessened 

If not stated where 
sadness is born, 
all attempts to bring 
joy back fails 
As waves grow 
building up, 
into a hurricane 
of grief 
Drops of uncertainty, 
fall on my face then 
raging faster 

While threatening to drown  
the only hope,  
of two halves to 
become whole

An older poem!;)
