Resonance of Separation



Dying on the inside,
withered tears falling on fallow hope
Bittersweet memories
rooted in moist pain of barren joy

Too many loving words left unsaid,
drowning silence
suffocates every wet pillow thought
Echoes of emptiness
from a weak heartbeat half-dead

Lonely fetal prone vibration
is the womb resonance of separation
Premature parting 
births an untimely mute scream
Not enough loving words heard,
forgiveness buried 
under a flatline document signed

Waning pulse vibration
accompanies the sunset stroke 
of stillborn liberation
Ill-fated past sorrow 
is the weeping willow delivery repose
of a dead tomorrow

Bereaved eyes misty blind
search for the halo light of balm divination
Revived resonant prism of being,
trying to find a new life meaning,
now emerging from the womb of separation

From pain a poet's pen rises and raises higher the voice of beauty! From pain there's delivery.. a rebirth.. a growth.. Truths stem from journeys of pain and loss.. We can reach the wonders of Light only after going through the calamities of darkness.. A great poetic rendition, Freddie.. a FAV as I enjoyed the depth of the read.. Regards and blessings.
