Grief's somber veil descends,
A sky that weeps with sorrow's hue,
At times the sun's warm light transcends,
But clouds of pain soon shroud anew.

Some days the rain falls soft and slow,
A gentle patter, a melancholy sigh,
Other days the storm's fierce winds do blow,
And tears fall hard, like summer's pouring sky.

Yet still we stand, beneath the gray,
And weather grief's unpredictable sway,
For in its darkness, we find a way,
To navigate love's bittersweet decay.

~
Grief is not linear. It hand over us  like the sky and is as unpredictable as the weather.

When we're slated to meet--

there's a comfort I may affect.

Adaptability unable to flounce

change.

The central cast of leaves

murking rust--with the eaten

asides of crows.

Offer chills.

When they walk around

like they don't remember...

it must be hard.

Think that aloud the

next time their face comes

up.

Just so they could cross the

other side of a street.

We can trade:

Around.

I don't have

to promise to

be there.

When you mean,

what you mean.

Promises aren't

******.

That vibe is all that's

needed.
sleep was the only sanctuary, was a
flower on the water, was the moonlit
ripples as night gathered her stars and her
promises, her indigos and golds.
i wasn't sure where the images would
take me, i could not surrender to them,
or they to me, my soul wrapped memories
into clouds, drifted with them and the
sadness that was the poetry today was
a song with so many myriads of water.
the water that filled with longing,
the water that poured into love.
from my book "and then i returned to you, you my poet of the water."

He wore a mask,
and controlled the narrative.
His charm tried to pull her under,
but his eyes gave him away
she saw the lie.
She built her walls for a reason;
he never touched her heart.
She let him wear the mask,
and watched him play the part.
She’s not angry
just disappointed.
He never had to lie.
She would have loved
the man beneath the mask.

If my coldness met with yours, would it give you warmth?
I was just a misspelled word
you so easily erased
from the notebook of your life.

                  
Now,
how do I ever erase you —
the most beautiful poem of my heart?
