Linda Milgate Poet Free verse

Lonely Land

Why  does the warmth of love wear out over time
What happens that the heart and brain grow cold
The heart and mind worn out so damaged
Unhappiness flows like a light stream 
Ongoing heaviness evolves into sadness
Unexpected attacks of anger
Declarations of denial 
Nothing changed or undone

It all stays fixed and stuck
Dreary in a lonely land

Victor Buhagiar July 8, 2023 at 2:42 AM How sad, Linda. My wife got sick at 79 years we were always in love and made love. The heart troubles began and died in an hour. I never cried but still grieved over her. Hope your poem is fiction. Linda Milgate July 10, 2023 at 9:01 PM Dear Victor, I feel for you, just a hard time to deal with your lost and the years you had together sounded so special. Very different from my poem. Take care.
