Lullaby
My weeping holds no mo(u)rning
In my arms I gently rock
Not yet....
My bosom overflows with pearled loathing Does fate not carry regret?
I have buried the dawn in your shadow
Shoveled in pale greys so blue
In this ever-sunset I will not see mortality
Now shoosh and suckle my sweet
Was you
In my arms I gently rock
Not yet....
My bosom overflows with pearled loathing Does fate not carry regret?
I have buried the dawn in your shadow
Shoveled in pale greys so blue
In this ever-sunset I will not see mortality
Now shoosh and suckle my sweet
Was you

It is often about travelling the dark, exposing it in the light
I'm so glad you are easing in gently lion
No need for a startling splash

Re. Lullaby
Nicely scripted ;
"My bosom overflows with pearled loathing"
My heart beats an empty drum , filled with these words...;)
( by the way...very interesting no one caught it...
"burried" , which I see as a "bur reed" ; thus , similar
to a cactus...rather dangerous under the surface...buried )

Nice Blackwolf.... tiny splashes of double meaning stand out to some, or are buried by the writer
Or spelling errors like this one
But left it in for you!
Thank you for your time and thought

Re. Lullaby
My weeping holds no mo(u)rning
In my arms I gently rock
Not in your arms but rather in my arms I gently rock. The ultimate solitude said as only a poet of your caliber can Gin. And the double meaning of morning and mourning. Writers like you know how to use language in unique ways to express more than one feeling with concise phrases. You have always had that ability and in abundance. Truly an exquisite poem with prismatic qualities such as are never lost on me by your poetry.

I've read this a few times attempting to garner an adequate description befitting its essence; the only word that keeps bubbling to the surface is soothingly macabre( if that makes sense ). Reminds me of those strange photos of the dead they used to take out of love to remember a face.
Very morbid and yet, again, soothing. Excellent contrast in that.

Soothingly macabre is perfect.......i collect those photos. ....and the necessity that lent to their existence is a testimony of heartache and love
Thank you for all your support....truely

Dear J,
Haunting is what this write said for me. Not in a bad way but a melancholy way. “In my arms I gently rock ” this action is one humans use to soothe oneself or whilst cradling someone in need. To rock while life slips away from a loved one is a gift. This piece, while sad is also peaceful in an uncoventional manner. Wonderfully written. H🌷

I have buried the dawn in your shadow
Shoveled in pale greys so blue
How Beautiful are those fkn lines!!!!!!

Rock on Hellion!!!

This is poetic to the core. Marriage of image to the succinct words is a truth, rarely told.

have read this several times by now... & the comments above too... it for me focusses you as an accomplished writer... not juz arrying the heaviness of emotions in brevity ..but evoking strongly even in the readers ... your verses for me are reinforced diamond heart & an everflaming soul... a motherly nobility which is greater than all gods & powers.. in all its pains & deaths.. shines more in the background & continuum of darkness & pains & all battles endless... a warrior indeed in such love & hope instilled & braving all.. in the traversing labyrinths of time of loss of death of more pains n pains..scultping this diamond.. at loss of wordsi feel wen i reading you.. but then my blabberations are in place as a respect & expression from your verses felt deep.. keep writing shining on more & evermore dear . Light & Love ev :)x

Some great lines here but the one that stands out for me is, "I have buried the dawn in your shadow."

I find it sacrilegious to dissect the qualities of this I admire. It's powerful and feels very personal to me. Thank you for being here.
