Overwhelmed Reality

The days' darkness
has overcome the tears of the afternoon,
unexpected, yet there all the same
to hinder thoughts of you.

This is so lovely and melancholy Maureen..
Yes, I do believe it can be both at the same time.
Beautifully penned in 20+1.
Sending hugs your way~

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

Dear Maureen, this was beautiful and I understand the melancholy with dark clouds and rain  ...

I wondered about 20 plus 1 as a title! And reading Nancy's reply I tried to count the words and yes that was it. Never heard of this form.

I try to imagine my loved ones up there as happy, then I can't be sad.

Love and hugs.
Margherita

Margherita,  another poet here ( MARK V SHELDON) started  titling his poems as "less than 20" or "less than 10" and every so often I like to leave him a poem of a less  or more than to know that I am thinking of him and miss his short thoughtfilled creations.

Maureen, in you, all the memories of the past live on to bring comfort and joy to others. Whenever I read your work I'm reminded about how deeply you think and how much your emotional depth impacts on others. Well done.

a good commitee can decimate communication.

M, it's amazing how much warmth you projected beyond those dark clouds, and with so few words.
