HAIKU
Joy and woe are woven fine,
A clothing for the soul divine.
Under every grief and pine
Runs a joy with silken twine.
~William Blake (1757-1827), “Auguries of Innocence”
I am drowning here
Holding on to the anchor
Pry my fingers loose.
Echoes in the dark
Piercing screams of anguished souls
Hands on ears, I sit.
Mahogany blues
Crimson whites of dull black eyes
The mad artist paints.
Losing you was tough
Forgot to breathe for a while
My anguish lives on.
Footsteps in the sand
Reminders of days gone by
Washed off by the waves.

Thanks Shilpa
Such sad poems Sulekha. I do hope your mood elevates and you will be able to feel joy again soon. Keep breathing…don’t hold your breath! Sometimes the only way out to the other side is through it unfortunately and deep breathing works…meditating, chanting, singing (if you feel like it, even a sad song like “I Guess Why they Call it the Blues” by Elton John or ….), walking, talking to someone… Take good care! 🙂 <3
p.s. I had a sad day too and then I realize I just attract more of the same so I need to remember to focus on what I want which is happiness! <3
This was an awesome piece of poetry, Sulekha! It somewhere touched a raw nerve…
Sad.. i thought weather was lovely today.. i love rain 🙂
