fade to mist
I press sunflowers in my diary
to remind myself of brighter days
*
before the fog settled in with its lonely gloom
you walked away that day and I didn't see you fade
into the bleak darkness
where my loving embrace could no longer touch
*
fingers that reach
grasp only cold mist
*
like a ghost you manifested with a haunted love
enchanted my heart
doomed my soul to carry your chains
*
every day is foggy now
I search the moors for your presence
call to you with my poetry
with hopes you will answer
*
I close my eyes this dreary day
for a moment things are calm
as everything fades to black

Very somber piece of writing, my friend Brenda.
There are times when the darkness of a personal
mist eats at us without relief. The only thing we
can do is try to transpose our thoughts on paper.
You do this quite well.

Re. fade to mist
There's such a haunting beauty to these words you've laid here. I would sit with you on the banks of a mist-shrouded river, in silence, just to absorb some of your beauty. The intensity of this is, despite its simplicity, profound. Much love...

Melancholy and fine work Crim. I think of Poe reading this.:
before the fog settled in with its lonely gloom
you walked away that day and I didn't see you fade
into the bleak darkness
where my loving embrace could no longer touch
A sense of loss eloquently presented. It has the delicacy of mist and distinctive voice of Lady Crim.

"Doomed my soul to carry your chains" such atmosphere created with so few words - excellent

I press sunflowers in my diary
to remind myself of brighter days
I do that too. Something to remind me if the write. A flower. A blade of grass. A gum wrapper. A bug skeleton. A photograph. Whatever of the world that it presents.
A very melancholy write, Brenda. Poetry does have its own voice from the heart, and calls to its muse.

A calm, enveloped sadness touches me when I read these words, a sort of dark serenity.
So beautifully written, Crimsin...

A stunning expression Brenda! One for the ages! I am only talking about the delivery so far, the depiction ,narration simply spell binding . No wonder such delivery is stunning as it evokes, takes the reader on the same journey of melancholy and places (metaphorical) you convey here of!!!

I should have known from the title it would be a sad read, makes me think of someone I watched helplessly go away. You penned the sadness that comes with that loss well, I love the haunting part because that exactly what happens :(

I like the way you capture the mood and juxtapose it with the sunflower. Nicely done.
