Today has promise on top of the sadness
it feels like grief is a blanket, that I try to throw
off each day so that I can access happiness or joy
yet, it still covers me, sometimes oppressively
the weight of it is heavier than my weighted blanket
that I chose, this one I did not choose
but grief also has stretched me and made me grow
in ways I did not want to grow, there was no choice
involved, it was sprung on me suddenly
but I have grown and changed into someone
strong, compassionate, and less impatient,
but also a lot sadder and in tune to the pain of others
because I wear the pain of grief like a blanket that I can
never take off
Screams, screams
Everywhere ,everywhere
Deafening silence
Deafening silence
Heart of stone ,heart of stone.
Never light, never light.
They cut the golden thread before the Sun.
Causing me unthinkable pain .
Indescribable , transcendent woe.
I have received a lot of unexpected sad news from friends lately
- But this shocked me -
I came home from town and my neighbor with her younger daughter approached me
She asked, did you hear? I said what?
She told me her husband died in a tractor trailer accident!
As I was responding, her daughter suddenly started hugging me and would not let go!
I kept hugging her tightly and kept talking as my mind tried to absorb the shocking news
A heavy sadness consumed me
I told them I know what loss is like and gave all the positive advice and support I could
For some reason the world seemed small
Just the 3 of us standing there as pain lingered in the air
- God Bless Them -

Feelings flood in seismic waves when soul mates drift apart,
fits of anguished sobbing tear stained stress a shattered heart,
doleful voices splutter we were doomed right from the start,
passion in its twilight is this weeping rainy day,
deep regrets so lachrymose for love that slipped away,
mellow drama’s woeful tragic plot or empty play,
morose violinist raises eyebrows with her tune,
couples in dispute whose wild scream wakes the dead at noon,
how that first flush eerie sadness wrecks their honeymoon,
heartache piles on heartache ain’t that a crying shame,
all that friction counts for nought as partners share the blame
A gap of thoughts, a trap of oughts
What is real and what is unreal?
Pausing life and causing pain
grateful for a time that is kind
Grief is never brief
Sadness makes way for gladness
Holidays are hard and marred
Why are many people unkind and
kind people are hard to find?
Christ brought good to this world
and now insults to him are hurled
We should celebrate what is good
and stand by the values for which he stood
Everything was wrong.
Gloomy shades of sadness,
knowing she lay
dead on a cold slab.
He'll never love again.
His anger could not abate.
She had made her peace,
with her unknown god.
Now he understood the why
of her soft, secretive sighs.
He felt the sunless chill.
No one could console him.
He must bear his loss alone,
knowing she was now nothing
but vapour, since nothing could
exist after life's loss.
For if god existed
wouldn't he give him a sign?
In the crippled light
feeling like a fallen butterfly,
he suddenly felt a breeze,
caressing his face.
Something rustled in the grass,
and from afar. a church bell rang.
Fiction
at the edge of the cliff,
she stood
determined…….
eyes limpid pools of sadness,
hair wind swept
flawed….?
damaged?
the swirling enormity below
inviting….!
nested in her own ignorance
never knowing there’s poison
in the sting of bees,
as dripping honey
in their combs.
consumed without flame
in the heat waves of life
an escape is ineluctable
to cover a secret kept…!
SWISH….!!!
the water below parted noisily
sloshed up…
but the tug was fierce.
down,
down
she slid,
into the silver chambers
to be garlanded by mermaids!
Kaleidoscopic Life
Life is ephemeral
Like rainbows in the sky
With tints of joy and pains
Of sorrows and sadness
Wrapped as gift embracing
Diversity of hues.
I thought we were in love
One of us was
For the first time
I thought we were married
I know I was
Unsure what you thought we were doing
My memories of us were once good
They have since turned into mud, muck and mire
Your antics caused me anguish and sadness
I thought we were forever after
You left me sad, alone, and trembling
It took me awhile to pick up the pieces
I could see she was broken,
It was so easy to tell.
The look in her eyes
Said her life had been hell.
To get all of her heart,
I knew that I could never.
With all its broken edges,
It was me it would sever.
At the same time, I could see
How much she needed someone
To help ease some of her pain,
And who wouldn't turn and run.
I knew the love she gave
Would be harsh and cold.
If I was going to love her,
I knew I had to be bold.
I couldn't bring myself to leave
And let all her sadness remain.
She is lucky I'm broken enough
That I enjoy all the pain.
Destroyed love
Two heart loved
Each other, theirs
Evil mentalists killed
Love flies away
Stayed sadness,
suffering and pain.
Fill My Cup
In sorrow You fill my Cup
And it overflows
And in my grief, You come
To comfort me
When I'm down in the valley
You make mountains rise
And in your great love, Oh Lord,
I will abide.
So fill my Cup with sadness, Lord,
Let it overflow
Because You are teaching me
What I need to know
You Fill my heart with laughter
To ease the ache inside
And in your great truth oh Lord
I will abide
Fill my Cup with pain, Lord,
Let the tears fall down
So one day I'll understand
This joy all around
In sorrow I bow
But in joy I'll arise
And in your great mercy, Lord,
I will abide
To know the joy of reaching up so high
First we must walk through the valley
And climb the mountain side
And in our great Lord
We must abide, we must abide.
Anger hides
Behind a gentle gesture
Shouting
How
did you let
this happen
You are there
I know it
See it
In flashes of sadness
In your eyes
In snarls of frustration
On your face
I know
You are present
Lost
In a synaptic maze
And so I search
Angrily
For a way
To find you
To free you
To love the you
That you are
Not everybody is having a safe and joyous Noël
Not all are enjoying a holy and holly jolly Christmas
Many people find themselves living in pure Hell
In countless countries, civilians are apprehended en masse
They are under sporadic and constant bombardments
Brigands violate the rules and the Ten Commandments.
Many people find themselves living in pure Hell
They are under sporadic or constant bombardments
Not everybody is having a safe and joyous Noël
Bandits violate the rules and the Ten Commandments
In countless countries, citizens are incarcerated en masse
Not all are enjoying a holy and holly jolly Christmas.

Painful being in love
Headaches, heartaches and sorrow
It is Hell on Earth.
