Sadness – Poem of the Month – September 2020

Sadness 

Another day
bleeds into night
as feelings
of despondency 
once more hang
in morbidity
Excitement 
a faded memory
of feelings
long forgotten
Eyes well with tears
as the heart struggles
to find it’s rhythm
Love’s death
a cross too heavy
to bear
and once more
the darkness comes

  3. Just wonderful. Love the amazing word flow. The first line is so much like that of ‘ Someone you loved’ by Lewis Capaldi. Heart wrenching but such honesty. Love it. Interesting blues. Peace and greetings from Sui generis 💛💛

    1. Thank you so much! Yes!! I just heard that song the other day for the first time and wrote down the first line because it struck a chord. I changed it a little and the rest came through. It’s funny how a few words can inspire us to write. 🥰. Thank you again ☺️

      1. My pleasure dearest poet. Some songs just fill you up with deep emotion. Poetry and music go hand hand in hand. I agree when you say that even a few words inspire us to write…. Please keep writing. Peace ✌️
