A Deep Sadness
fading colours of old graffiti
splashed on ageing walls
an old tap is leaking
wetting the mossy ground
he sits there waiting
for her familiar voice
and flowery scents
he hasn't seen her a while
a funeral held at the cemetery
years ago
is long forgotten
he still has hopes
she might come out one day
the mangy cur looked up wearily
the lady is not coming out today
he is always feeling hungry nowadays
and missing his mistress love....

Goodness, this was sad! The last stanza is so painfully tragic. Good pen Grace, the poem truly lived up to its title.

Hi anonshadow:) that was inspired by the movie Hachiko. You must watch it. Richard Gere is in it. I've seen that movie many times and I still cry. Thanks for reading me.

Letting go is so difficult for many, and the foundation for sadness. Our hearts pain to witness it. A Deep Sadness here indeed.

So good at touching those places in my mind and soul and refreshing my view of the beauty of the universe.

Hi Terry:) thank you so much for reading...I am a dog person and most of the time, strays and hurt dogs, are source of heart aches for me. I wish i could take care of them all.
