Brooding in the Blues [Abstract Words and Abstract Poetry WS]

No ocean has depth
to drown my sorrow
its salt does hurt my wounds
its waves now remind me
of that elation
of being with you

The sky no more calls me
to soar among those fluffy clouds
my wings are now laden
with the burden of the loss
no warmth now to comfort me
in our abode

as day turns into night
my gloom slips into plight
in that darkness
I search for your light
but you are nowhere in sight
and the pillow on my right
keeps waiting for you

Abandonment is v. clear in this poem. I love every bit of imagery here as if drawn carefully with the artist's brush.
The title is well chosen and I am sure that Scott won't be disappointed with such a submission.
I simply like it all especially the 2nd and 3rd stanzas.
Well done indeed!

Terrific! "Brooding In The Blues" love the title.

So much feeling is expressed in this poem:

I can't pick a favourite part because it's all so wonderfully written and a perfect poem in tribute to one that is missed and loved.

Thanks for sharing your talent. :)

Love Mand xxx

"Sharing my talent" you are so kind to say that...though I consider myself to be an amateur.

Much love and hugs,
