Beautifully crafted, with lines like
Darkness descends with shadow arms, embracing a past turned gray
The casket analogy / metaphor is quite powerful. Sad. Moving.

We don\'t do death well in the west, unlike other cultures who celebrate a life lived.
I\'m not sure if the departed brings you closer to the inevitable or just makes the mourning worse.
Must be Monday, death is in the air.

Your poem explores themes of loss, mourning, and the passage of time. It reflects on the pain of grief and the inevitability of death while also hinting at the lingering memories of the past. Yet again, there are mixed feelings in your poem, revolving around a metaphorical funeral scene, where the imagery of a coffin and the associated feelings of sorrow evoke a deep sense of sadness. The poem addresses the emotional weight of memories and the harsh reality of accepting a departed loved one.

Charting the final goodbye. Inexorable all creatures and material goods turn to dust and disappear. We are left on with memories to cling to. Even memories start fading at some point. The only thing we are left with is to records our thoughts on an Internet site like this one for others to read and react for some time...

Would it be inappropriate to say \"Approaching night bends low kissing cold lips of a departed day\" was a chef\'s kiss?

Congratulations Soren! A friend of mine recently just had her baby too. What a joy it is when you get to hold them. Wishing you all the best.

A very insightful poem Soren. Great one to come back to! Often the hardest part of moving on is letting go and strangely it seems to hurt more than the wound itself. Great description, I hope you’re able to let go of what’s grieving you friend.

History of an old wound
Friendship said:
Well written. Your poem explores the theme of unresolved trauma and pain, likening it to an old wound that remains unhealed. The poet reflects on the burden of this emotional or psychological wound, suggesting that it is deeply ingrained and continues to affect their identity and creativity. Yet it seems the poet\'s relationship with their past, particularly a painful experience that is metaphorically described as a wound. The imagery of an old poem, yellowed pages, and the metaphor of infection suggest a deep-seated struggle with memory and emotion. Yet your poem seeks to articulate the experience of living with emotional wounds and the complex process of healing, emphasizing the challenges of confronting and expressing pain through art. The notion of “amputation” as a painful but necessary solution highlights the difficulty of letting go of the past to heal.

A harrowing piece, Soren. The language turns memory into anatomy, and the question of whether to heal or amputate feels painfully real. There’s courage in naming that choice so plainly. Strong work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

As the surgeon says, I\'ve cut it away, but you\'ll still feel it\'s there.
I\'ve had a verse I wrote about twenty years ago, and I really like it, but I just can\'t find any other words to finish it.

This one cuts like self-surgery—writing as infection, memory as something that won’t stop bleeding.
Brutal honesty, no romance in the pain, just the hard truth that sometimes healing means losing a piece.
