daybreak finds me
grieving at your gravestone
empty bottle in hand

deer come discreetly
to eat the flowers
staring warily
at the scent of whiskey

the sky is golden-blue
like the eyes
that once ached
to behold
your countenance

my hollow heart
abides the presence
of momentary memories

a hangover potion
fading opaquely
like the morning moon

Excellent write. You placed me there.

our thoughts and feelings

Now, even though this is sad, I like this poem. I could almost see you sitting at the grave all night drinking. Very sad and written with excellence!!
