killed by neglect
thrown out like
dirty bath water
rose petals floating
away on the wind
painted snowflakes
curly lingering smoke
from extinguished fire
smoldering ash
forgotten love songs
distant memories
quietly abandoned
behind closed curtains
faded voices die
utter silence
desolate mind
vacant space
shattered heart

Good write on that theme Fred.
Thanks so much orchie!!!
Hope this isn’t self biographical
Nice write!
Mahalo John! No, just my over-active imagination!
That life is what it may have been but you and I have lived our 72 years and feel so grateful to be here with a good life in front of us Fred.

Mahalo Andy,
You are so right. I just tried to imagine how I would feel if tenderness would be absent.
Painful words. The sort of words one feels when something, which could have been quite beautiful, has come to a sad end for one. These are fitting words for endings for in feeling them one has to accept the word 'over'. And move along to what may lye ahead.
Thanks da, you hit the nail on the head. We always need to look forward, no matter what happened in the past.
elegant use of repurposed poetry form to accentuate the fragmented nature within emotional progression,
even if just to find that initial foothold within realisation, it's a long journey of day-to-day: while you're living it...
good write
Mahalo L.B., for reading and your very poignant comment. It is very much appreciated!
Well penned lament of loss “ rose petals floating away in the wind” inspires me! Thanks for sharing
