Poem Artwork

 

The winter’s been hard and spring slow to come

Grey clouds hug the sky like funeral shrouds.

Buds cower to bloom like guests unwelcome,

Waiting for the sun to break through the clouds.

 

The days fly-by fast with nothing achieved,

The nights are full of shadows and whispers;

My dreams are colourless, hardly perceived,

Punctuated by deep sighs and whimpers.

 

I run from memories in crowded streets,

Seeking shelter under gothic arches,

Hiding from my sorrows in bleak retreats,

Whilst my life stops… and the time just marches…

 

Walking in silence swallowed in the crowds,

I am searching for your face in the clouds.

How beautiful!

Adorned in overwhelming sorrow-- the kind any beloved who has passed on would be honored by and intensely grateful for.
Blessings,
Christine

So beautifully heartfelt, Peter -- undone by the emotion in these lines. Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

I know these feelings, Peter; at times, it is as though we are just going through the motions of life but not really "living." The loss of a loved one can certainly result in what you have elicited via your sonnet. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

Regis

You won't be seeing my face in those clouds, unless I smoke a fat one and fly high up there...e

Visions of A Skylark Dressed in Black by Aberjhani

“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to
