Petrichor petals float with departing zephyrs, misplacing misunderstood messages, whose true meanings are misinterpreted. Mislaid memories reflect on picture perfect puddles, mentally memorising mistakes, leaving behind a legacy of regret. Painful passages monopolise melancholic mind, bittersweet swansong symphonies, seduce soulful spirit into a sabbatical. Pessimistic penitence engraves on blank expression, depicting disease, drifting to death, nauseating numbness perpetually laments. Silent One Simple Musings 26 January 2018

It's sad when one takes a sabbatical due to painful memories. One can only hope that friends are able to make a difference. I did like the use of alliteration here and the amazing title. Thanks for your visit.

Silent One, your alliteration is amazing in this deep, soulful melancholy you've so beautifully expressed. Every line is scintillating with gems of imagery and emotion. All your stanzas are gorgeous but I think your second stanza is so breathtaking in its richness and texture. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
