Haunting – Poem of the Month – February 2019

by  • 

Haunting

The range of emotions
Disturbing and alarming
Unforeseen
Out of the blue
Possibly harming
 
Perceptions cut deep
A woeful heart bleeding
Vagrant feelings
Homeless
and needing
 
A future in suspension
Spirit crying for healing
An empty shell
Cast aside
Forever haunting

    A beautifully aching use of the prompts. You create the perfect somber atmosphere of emptiness in this piece
