Ms Affection Poet Free verse

Something Old, Something New

People leave like seasons change
Followed by grief and sadness
Tears flow, a chaotic scene
Reminding myself of the madness

Wrenched away in the nick of time
Loving this hard and this much
Is reserved for the one, with care in their heart
For all of me and such

Original:
The Tsunami of Loss
I lose people, and amid the tsunamis
of grief and sadness that follow,
I remind myself, when finally chaos tears dissolve
and the aftermath of thoughts is allowed:
“Silly child, you should know better 
than to love anyone this much by now,
every time you have loved this hard and this much,
you know it will be wrench away from you somehow

Kim Rodrigues October 21, 2021 at 7:08 AM Love feels so good. Grief is that love torn asunder. But still we must believe in it. I agree with Victor. Ms Affection October 21, 2021 at 9:59 AM Thank you Kim. You are always so encouraging.

Victor Buhagiar October 21, 2021 at 2:05 AM My friend, if you wish to get comments, you need to read and read until like me you become sick. For it is a pity that such an effort got no comments. You deserve more. Ms Affection October 21, 2021 at 9:58 AM Hi victor. Thank you for the input. Can you please expand on your comment as I want to GROW in my writing and value your feedback (I didn’t fully understand)
