That Day

That Day

A Poem by Warren L.G De Mills
"

A black verse description of heartbreak

"

That day came like a thunder out of heaven

A falling rain spewed from the mouth of gods

Unending plague of heartbreak and soul-ache

That severed heart, deceptive love masquerade


Like a ripening destruction, inevitable end

That day divided my destiny between darkness

And a doomed depression to walk the world

As a loner, a widower, man without woman


A chasm grows in the sinews of my soul

Separating you from me because of that day

Your decision deepened my sorrows like

Dominating dusk, subduing the coming dawn


With a woman's words a man's hope is broken

By the whim of wonder and the way of waste

The smile of a satisfied man is drowned in the

Deluge of mournful tears from sorrowful cries


Forged from the fires of bereavement, sadness

Swallows the last ray of hope spiraling downward

Into the strongholds of the final spire of a smile

Suffocating it to surrender to the pain inside


The succumbing joys spawn cancerous waves

Of effervescent apparitions of memories of love

Reminiscent specters of broken promises and

Cherished dreams and the bleakness they bear


That loathsome day conjured demons in my heart

That evoke images of cascading silhouettes dancing

To beckon the other to fall into their welcoming embrace

As they sing together in chorus of eternity's beauty


That day crushed my hopes and broke every promise

That day ended my joy and condemned my pride

That eventful day when you chose two words to say

“It's Over” A terrible two word attempt at goodbye


Then went on to explain reasons I can't remember.....

A strong and eloquent poem. The story of sorrow unfolds in waves that propel the reader through the torment and despair. As I read each line, I felt drawn into the scenario, feeling it for myself. An excellent crafting of poetry!

It's almost as if she died..rather then your being inside. This hurt and pain is just sooo forceful I had to read it again because my eyes welled up at the emotional build you have going. Such force you have sent from the page...amazing :)

The agony here is blinding. You express it so remarkably well and I am astounded by the variety of words you play with and arrange.
