My grief
 Nov 2021 DElizabeth

Never ending,
continuously reminding,
unpausing,
haunting.
My grief.

A cliff where my love hangs on a thread,
clouded behind this smile,
this laugh.
Care to look closer?
My grief.

Growing,
Flaring,
Exploding,
My grief.

Dwindling,
Deflating,
Flattening,
My grief.

Strengthening,
Time consuming,
Soul-*******,
Depressing,
Enlightening,
My grief.
When the world is in chaos
and I feel the need to end it
I take a small piece of paper
and fold

it started as a final act before the world went black
but it now developed into a habit
folding to calm the world once more

I have a collection now
of paper cranes
that saved my life

The seasons are changing
The sun has gone away
He needs a vacation
It’s been a long day

It’s sunset in the city
It’s midnight my bed
And I can’t seem to stop your voice
From entering my head

East Wind
Collections of my disorderly thoughts
gathered together with knots
of my ample desire
to make sense of my everyday life.
I write poetry, however bad they might be, to help me analyze my feelings.

You are my unsent message.
The cursor blinking rhythmically,
With my heartbeat,
Waiting,
For me to hit send.
But I am not ready,
And I’m not sure if I ever will be
So I left it like that.
Unsent. Unseen. Unread.
“I miss you.”
