Grief's Grasp

Darkness may follow deep despair
Through times of tragedy
Strength slips slowly as not to spare
Grief's greedy grasp on glee

Lost souls leave stamps within your heart
This you have been bequeathed
Never alone nor far apart
Let this be your relief

Time ticks past into tomorrow
Your final nightfall nears
Surrender your lifelong sorrows
You’ve held through heartfelt years

A reunion without regret
Gathers to be your guide
Faces you could never forget
Stand on the other side

I think you could use another verse...not sure where you'd stick it though. (Helpfull ain't I)

I like the way you think.

I just love this, love this! The metre is perfect, the rhyme as well. For once ( wow..) I disagree with Monkey, I think its perfect. The thought behind this beautiful and thoughtful. This is my fave poem on this site at the moment. Wonderful write! YOU sir, are an artist.

*heavy sigh* brings a tear of comfort to my eye.

There you go monkey...2 more verses!
They were needed, more needed to be said to make it complete.

I love alliterations. They are very enjoyable and pleasant. The entire poem was marvelous.

Damn, i really like this. It takes a lot of skill to use such complex words, and a good rhyming scheme, without it becoming choppy. And, it has a great feeling too. =) good stuff!

Monkey - surely you are not one to enforce completion of the thought. Such discipline to leave us wondering. G old man I really feel this is a milestone poem - one that once again demonstrates you can do any damn thing you set your mind to.

Would you mind teaching me how to sharpen knives? It is the one "manly" thing I have not a clue about!

I have one of those new fangled knife sharpeners now, it works great. No more hours on the flat stone. I use it to sharpen my broad heads too.

Oooh, I have a nice knife sharpener. Don't know what I'd do without it. Anyway...

This is absolutely amazing. What a beautiful poem, Grunty.

I've had to read this several times before I commented... I really like it!
