Sense of Sorrow

Heavy heart puts on the eyes stone of lonely sorrow Unshed tears collect in the fold of droopy sorrow. Bleak blow of distress breaks the mind, it silently cries Nebulous words remain unsaid in cloudy sorrow. Floods of despair surge in dented soul, it slowly sinks The anchor disappears in depths of murky sorrow. Through the incised agony tear flows in sullen stream Dries in desert, oasis veiled in misty sorrow. Touch of compassion and words of soothing empathy Uncover the mind, lifts the shroud of smoky sorrow. Subimal sees flood comes in spate, breaks the barrier Eyes can’t hold splintered heart melting in steamy sorrow.
