To Sad

In my every thought, of you I’m aware
Trailing after me with your long dark hair
I call out to peace from the still of despair
The answer is silence, there is nobody there
 
Through the quiet and deep you possess the night
I Chant Mantras of Sanskrit in a plea to the light
To be held by love, tender and tight
For hope to be lit, gentle and bright
 
You whisper from dusk till the breath of the day
I beg you to leave but you always do stay
Your spectre dances as the shadows come play
You never rest so my fears can allay
 
You undid your suitcase upon my floor
You wear carpet slippers and have your own draw
With bony finger you point out each flaw
You empty my heart then come back for more
 
As I rub my eyes to dispel the dark
By soul blends obliquely into stark

Hi, caroljoyce,
Through the melancholy, there is beauty in the way you capture the depth of feelings that lingers after loss as the soul blends obliquely into stark.

oh CJ, that is indeed to sad... ;-( it however does bear your distinctive style and grace. Perhaps you could tell the unrequited guest of unwelcome dismay that checkout time is coming...soon. ;-}

welcome her in and give her some tea
then sit her gently on your knee
tell her of your future like so
then tell her gently she must go.

Your future beckons and 'sad' has only a perch just outside your window to peek in from. She will have no place in the rest of your life. I think you are just getting ready to say goodbye to sad.
