The Mourning Notes

It gnaws at me, the mourning.
    enduring beyond it’s due

It’s not my place to say, I guess
          (biased as I am
and still in love)


    and yet the dreary songs drone on
creeping through doors shut
in defiance and defence
    each note a bitter dagger
jealousy,
        loss,
             regret.

If you are at all like me, the best poetry comes of these notes.

@2islander2. Appreciate the reply. I'm trying to find the beauty in everything these days.

@Michael. Thanks for reading. It does seem that it's sometimes easier to draw upon those notes and themes.

Beautiful sad longing.  I don't know if these are coming from life experiences,  but some very touching poetry is happening.  I don't know if anyone uses the library option anymore, but you're in mine.

Mz, This made me think of 'mourning doves',
& their haunting calls.

Nicely done..

Sometimes..Miracles are just good people
with kind hearts~
