The Price of Loss
An ache too ponderous
Strangling my heart in
Coils upon layers upon folds of
Sorrow
Despair
Relentless emptiness.
Pendulous, the desolation oscillates
From heart to soul to eyes –
Tears spill like precious pearls of water
Intensifying
Amplifying
Scorching
The arid desert of my being.
This inconsolable tsunami of loss
Nothing can alleviate.
Memories provide scant solace.
Your absence:
A harsh reminder of
Your once taken-for-granted presence.
Yet … your Spirit that still within me resides,
Shall (I know) eventually seal the abysmal void in my life.
