Neopoem Of The Week February 12th to February 18th 2023
Goodbye, my heart
They say, all good things must end
the heavy heart afflicts
why do all good things disappear?
why are you gone?
as I clasp my hands and grieve
why is life so ephemeral?
But I don't want to live
without your feelings
Goodbye, my heart

I am...
of the mind to ask for a curtain-call. He clasps his breast and vows never to love again. I see the dramatic, black silhouette of a man, against a red/orange sunset. On his knees, head down... Nice image! ~ Geezer.

That’s a good comment man. It’s really spot on.
Sorry to hear you’re grieving. Very glad to see it transmuted in poetry.

Agree with Geezer
I am sorry for your loss and grief but like Tim, am glad to see it in a beautifully touching poem. Well done.
