As usual with your poetry you are taken briefly from this world into yours.
So much emotion and so much imagery.

awesome.

Hope things are smooth wherever you are. Stunning piece as usual.

Awesome:)- i like it

Awww darling I'm so sorry for your loss if this is all a true write....

However, I do like what you have done here..I like the irony is grey clouds blushing, and wintry summer....very intriguing, kind of vivid.

What I'm guessing out of your last stanza, is that this persons gravestone, but I can't see, to figure out if you mean unpolished like its old and needs polished or touched up...or unpolished like its a clean slate and all the others are polished with long overgrown grass....either way that image is also vivid and describes such sadness.

Your writes are amazing.

Absolutely beautiful ans so strikingly true.

Stunning.

Grey clouds blushing and wintry summers.
seriously? only your wonderfulness could pull that off.

That ending ... </3

Sorry my comments suck, I can't seem to write anything of worth, forgive me lol.
