Springs Lost Beauty

Springs Lost Beauty

With spring comes cruel sorrow
That you're no longer here
Darkness now entombs me
My thoughts painfully unclear

Blinding eyes against sunlight
Deaf to birds enchanted songs
April rains have lost meaning
Finding it hard staying strong

Lilac's scent no longer entices
Early strawberries taste not found
Velvet blooms lost their softness
Senses frozen in winter ground

Need love once more to waken
Nature's beauty all around
Filling souls again with warmth
Melting coldness that surrounds

    Very heartbreaking poem, the level of despair so deeply expressed that anyone reading this can't help but be moved and feel what you're going through. The advent of spring cruelly indifferent your sadness. All of this so powerfully expressed. A beautiful poem.

    Wow! This poem is so beautifully written and I really love it... It's no wonder that you won, congratulations! You deserve it :) I love relating emotions to nature, and you've done that in a very calming way. My favorite stanza was the last:

    Need love once more to waken
    Nature's beauty all around
    Filling souls again with warmth
    Melting coldness that surrounds

    Beautiful words! Great job!
