My hazy window
blurred by mist of memories
and motley motifs
fails to inspire somber muse
even bird songs sound mournful.
***
fragrance of summer,
dusk in the garden beckons
I hear your whispers:
yonder is the light – go, go
we’ll meet at the horizon.
***
blazing summer sun
hammers on velvety grass
smoldering swiftly
Diablo hills look ashen
just like my afflicted heart.

The poem is so expressive, Balroop. I know words can’t heal a broken heart, but I do have to believe that writing these emotions down helps. Hugs!

Thank you Gwen. Love and hugs.
I can feel the pain, Balroop. Words fall short for this heartfelt poem. Sending warmth and hugs, take care. 🙂
Than you for your lovely support, kitty. 🤗
I liked the metaphor ‘mist of memories’ and the alliteration, ‘motley motifs’ in the first poem. The feeling of grief and the attempt to break through it comes across in all three poems. I found this line poignantly melodious – yonder is the light – go, go /we’ll meet at the horizon.
Hugs to you, Balroop ji.
Thank you for this in-depth analysis of my poetry Smitha. Grief is a weird pal, it torments as well as finds its own channel of expression. 🤗
your haiku, stunning Balroop. No matter the season, they tug at my heart strings. Thanks for sharing. ((Hugs))
Thank you for sharing your kind thoughts Selma, much appreciated. 🤗

These, all three, capture both the view and your heart. The middle one made me tear up. Your poetry improves with wisdom and it reads as though your muse is somewhere close by, Balroop. Sending love to you as always. Hugs.
