Sorrowed Flowers

Sorrowed Flowers

 

Falling beneath dark skies

No sunlight finds my face

Lost within bramble and prickly thorn

Tearing at my heart, shredding tiny pieces

What little remains that I can feel

Broken branches splinter

Wilted blooms release no scent

Diluted hydrangea tear drops

Weeping of loss, never ending

Transparent silhouette faintly flutters

A butterfly fades into the shadows

Disappearing from this place

Where my smile once bloomed

As I cry with the sorrowed flowers…

I'm pretty sure if you came to Scotland and spent time with the Noodle I bet I could make you smile even if it is for 2 minutes. We're not always happy Jack, we do have our bad days... we have the days where all we want to do is die in a hole but we have people around us who will always be there for us, there to send huggles and love; there to tell you how important you are to everyone and them.

I'm going to make you smile... somehow, I will find a way.

Thanks so very much my sweet friend. Your review of my work has done just that...smiling.

Very sad poem. I know these days. Happily I can say that the happy days waaaaaayyyyy outnumber the sad days. I hope that this is true for you as well.

(Think spring! That should help you smile! :)

Thanks so much my friend. I've been thinking spring for a while, but one look out the window tells me...not just yet buddy. I appreciate your visit Claire.

This is so very sad.I guess happiness is fleeting ,sometimes you feel like there is more sadness in your life than goodness :)

[Jack...]

Your pen vividly bleeds of despair in this write, Jack. Ah, sad reality. when a flower starts to wither butterflies began to flutter to another flower.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much Sunshine for visiting today. My pen has been scratchy of late.

[Traci]

Your canvas is painted in sorrow, the emotion intense. I'm sure your words and compassion will be a ray of sunshine to your friend in her time of need. Much love to you both, my dear friend.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Traci for stopping by and leaving such kind words for me. We can only hope our writing has a positive effect on others...never really sure though.

[Lyn Anderson]

Really nice imagery here. A sorrowful soulful write.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much my friend?

Jack you have left me with a thought about a poet, what magic words can contain and all depend on the mood of a poet. As you are feeling down and you made many heart sad, just to know everything is OK with you, that kind of impact only a writer can create without saying a word, just in his writing can share millions of things but using only few words. What ever you are going through please feel free If you want to talk, I'm here send me a message...and so is my support. Cheer up my writer friend...

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much my friend for your kind words and more than kind offer. However, this piece, and yes it was penned today just like the other, is not so much about me but what a very good friend is feeling inside today. Often I will use the emotions another expresses as a springboard for my work, but only if I feel it with them. These emotions, which are different than my personal mood, still hit me hard and I feel pain for this friend. Thanks again A. Your kindness is always appreciated.

[A. Amos]

You're most welcome and hope your friend find his peace

[Jack...]

Thank you. (her)

Although I walk with you in this sorrowed garden, I feel light will shine your upcoming days with the embrace of spring flowers. The heart lives within the brambles and prickly thorns fed with the blood of life...Bravo.......

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Sami. I always am thrilled when you visit my garden.

[Sami Khalil]

My pleasure. A must to all...:)...............
