Oh Luanne
Your words just tear at the heart. Beautiful haunting piece.

Coldest dark has come to feed
upon thy dying soul
dwelling in the cavity
of a heart that once held whole

This stanza really touched me deeply my friend. We never know what tomorrow will bring. Your in my thoughts and prayers.
Love Cindy

Luanne,

What a great start to a sad and heart wrenching write. I thought it was going to be a funny poem when I read the title. But the farthest thing from it.

Well done,
Jeannie

I Like It! Great Work!

Just lovely Luanne, I am so happy to be back to see your work once again, don`t be a stranger. I dont want to copy the whole poem here, but they were my favorite parts, all of it. Cannot wait for more. Tim

Desolate heart lays shattered
tears trace a well known path
choking back whiskey vengeance
drowning in the aftermath ...

I think at my age, the poetry that you write is definetly something I would aspire to be able to write one day. And I say this with truth. Its just wonderful, every single line of it.

Thanks so much for your comment.
