sometimes


sometimes your flurry
echoes for hours on my skin
before I tuck you gently back
in a pocket of my brain but
this time of year is jaded
with the sodden
weight of
loss
‘til I
spill
my lonely
solitaire on another

April dawn


Speaking of ghosts, wouldn't you know here comes mine again...

When I read this it made me think of the old song "Love the one you're with" from the 70's. Wow..that brought back memories. Thanks for sharing.

mmm, sad and lonely even when not alone.  Like the words and the write and the picturesque form, but especially the feelings.  Thanks.  ~K~

It's the greatest pain there is, and the longest lasting agony. I've never known someone who carried it, that didn't bear it forever. I'm glad you're able to say it, express it in this way, and I hope the saying gives you a measure of peace.

thank you all so much, April Dawn still means so much to me...

pouring loneliness
over the empty threshold
that dawning April

lucky...it is good to see you posting..I've missed you and your poetry.  I wish I didn't understand so well, that to love, is to feel the pain of seperation.

I love you, and your love for our lost baby. You write with such yearning, from your deepest heart.   Each time you write of her, my heart leans toward yours.

The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G.
