EQUAL SHARES

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

Breath upon
The windows pane
Frosted glass
Leaves a stain
That slowly fades
Its moisture dried
Like burning tears
That once were cried.

The traffics noise
A mere drone
Barricaded moments
Without home
Left like helpless
Children lost
His thoughts calculate
The bitter cost.

For sale sign
Upon the lawn
Silence drops
A bitter coin
Into the slot
Of random life
No more children
Or a wife.

        A powerful poem. Your poem can be interpreted as an exploration of the emotional landscape that follows separation, loss, or the end of a relationship, seeking to understand and articulate the feelings tied to those experiences.

        Norman, this really moved me. There's a quiet heaviness here that settles in line by line, and by the end the full weight of the loss becomes impossible to ignore. Powerful piece, my friend. A fave. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
