Sullen Sorrow Sadness

tears freezing crystal fingertips upon cryptic cemetery cheeks under claustrophobic clothing clouds fresh fangs of finality fires morbid mournful mind hearts rot as the reaper's roses flakes of flowers fade with sterling silver stems tearing through time's thorns winds whip with wanton weakness quiet questions quiver inside languishing lace lungs opera organs organize designer death skeleton soup stews steaming souls splash drought daily days without them only recorded remains in repeats March 18th 2024

Dear Chantelle, I finally remembered to come visit this lovely poem you wrote using alliteration. I especially loved the line about hearts rot. And quiet questions quiver. Have an awesome weekend, my friend.

Beautiful write, so well woven with excellent alliterations and diction, i especially love the way your lines connect to one another and flow just seamlessly, especially “ flakes of flowers fade with sterling silver stems tearing through time's thorns winds whip with wanton weakness “ how soul stirring and touching! Profound write. Pleasure reading your work dear chantelle. Sending you light
