Lost In Sorrow a Sad Christmas

Winter takes in its arms weeping stars as dawn draws in. The sky turned from black to a steel gray; snow rest upon the roof tops and yards revealing the ingrain coverlet beauty. I walk the halls naked in the depth of despair and death; deep darkness devours until hollow. My mind spins to inner depth, lost in sorrow. I pine and die inside. Looking for comfort, but you're not around. With winter outside my heart weeps like a child. Where have you gone? Demented baneful hurt, come out of your tomb be gone for all eternity. Once your hands touched my face and with your eyes you said I do, that Christmas day. Now just a fading memory. Your light grows dim and I've inherited the pain. 12/11/2018 Poetry Contest : 'A Sad Christmas' - December 2018 Writing Challenge - Sponsored by: Dear Heart

Your poem's authenticity blows me away, Eve. This is raw at raw's best, the emotion is hard hitting and easy to relate to (unfortunately.) I think a piece of you went into this write, a tear and bit of heart blood, making it profoundly touching. I have no doubt you penned a winner with this excellent poem! Oh, my. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Deeply touching ... Reverberation of love blending in sadness ... Probir. By the way, what about Victor? ...I have been irregular here for personal reasons. For several days I tried several times to read his latest poems. But no page of his I can find here ... Can you shed any light ...
