Till Death Do Us Part

A grieving widow Lones to be with her husband!

    She watched the sunrise in shades of him

    Landscape of memories traced back in time

    Laughter echoing off the summer breeze

    At the present moment she relishes the sound

    The corners of her soul clings to every recollection

     Without them her breath would falter into thin air

     Wilted grief never fully fades

     With each tomorrow brings a new sunrise and sunset

     A time to wrap her loneliness into remembering him

     She no longer lives in the present,

     but in the past where he still lives

     His scent wakens the tears that dried up on her pillow

     Crying only makes her realize the ach is real

     No tomorrows will paint no pictures of them together

     As the sun melts into a full moon,

     Her heart serenades a wishful lullaby

     When she lays her head down to sleep,

     tomorrow she would wake and be with him

I can feel the emotion in this heartbreaking poem. I lost my husband in 2015 and experienced a lot of different emotions. I never expected to love again, but three years later, my first boyfriend came back into my life. We're in our early 70's so I know I may have to face a loss some day. Hopefully not.

"The corners of her soul clings to every recollection
Without them her breath would falter into thin air"
Beautifully romantic, sensuous, poem and painting. Exceptional imagery. The sad loss of a love is keenly expressed here.

Wowser! (A time to wrap her loneliness into remembering him She no longer lives in the present, but in the past where he still lives) Too many beautiful people live in the past when nothing can be done to change things. You wrote of it so well. ~Sharon

Your lines here remind me of my sister who was widowed last year. Trying to work her way through grief. One step forwards, two back. A poignant piece of writing.

For many years, I mourned a friend who took her own life. Summer sunsets evoked her memory, as did big band music. Over time, I made peace with my new life. But sometimes...
Heartfelt, my friend. Beauty.
