~Period.

Last time I saw you, you were zoetic

we take life's every day nuances for granted

you dug us both a grave with your last breath

memories keep you alive in your absence

your face only visible within a photograph

there is no sense of touch or grasp of poetry

a period           at the end of your sentence

halted dead in its last tearful stanza

all musical tracks mute by eradication

The loss of someone you love is hard to deal with. This is such a powerful write. Although they are gone, and we're in pain we still relive those memories, we still have all those amazing memories that we can look back on. I loved the title. This whole write was absolutely amazing!

Sorry I missed this lovely review Sye, much appreciated my friend.

Yet another of your wonderful poems. And, as always with the same wonderment of words. You have a natural gift for placing thoughts in a subtle yet powerful manner, always understandable, always descriptive. There's such a sad sense of finality here.. hence i guess, the title of your post. '.. a period at the end of your sentence ~ halted dead in its last tearful stanza ~ all musical tracks mute by eradication .. '

Thanks so much for your kind sentiments my sweet Em, much appreciated. x

[Sirius King]

Sad, but written so well, you don't want it to end. Period.

[Frieda P]

Thanks my friend.

Almost everything has a finality. To have such loss and memory is like a grave its own. You wrote the emotion very well, it seeps into the heart of compassion.

A heartbreaking period, Frieda. Your pieces tug at the soul.

Thanks Rebecca, much appreciated.

The first thing that caught my interest is the cover art for "And We Are Bled Of Color" on your concept art.
Listening to the voices of the spirit go mute, or perhaps you've gone deaf? Either way, the affair in its own is truly saddening. You speak your mind well.

You a Stutterfly fan? Thanks Tai.

Only their old stuff. Secret and Whisper doesn't have the same style anymore.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A stabbing piece that pierces the heart and mind and we dwell in both, well done.

[Frieda P]

Dwelling in both is the hard part, yes. Thanks Thomas.

[redflutterby]

Aww sweetie...you capture the finality of loss so perfectly. It is much like the final stanza of a bittersweet poem. And the last few lines linger with us always.. x
