This is inspired by an instagram meme that I shared which is the lead image. Loss of a loved one is difficult to deal with but it is something that we all may have to do at some point in our lives, or we may have already done that and are still dealing with the loss.
This is a villanelle on grief.
❤️🖤💜🖤❤️ ❤️🖤💜🖤❤️
Now They Are Gone, You’re Filled With Sorrow
Your Love has gone, Your World is stolen
Grief is just Love with Nowhere To Go
❤️
It was always call them tomorrow
But now today your Heart is broken
Now They Are Gone, You’re Filled With Sorrow
🖤
Your Heart pierced by a Deathly Arrow
Thoughts of Words that will ne’er be spoken
Grief is just Love with Nowhere To Go
💜
Where your broken Heart now feels Hollow
Today You are feeling forsaken
Now They Are Gone, You’re Filled With Sorrow
🖤
Now they are gone you want to follow
But you are here, feeling so alone
Grief is just Love with Nowhere To Go
❤️
Now Hoping You Can Make Tomorrow
Your Heart is in pieces, torn open
Now They Are Gone, You’re Filled With Sorrow
Grief is just Love with Nowhere To Go
❤️🖤💜🖤❤️ ❤️🖤💜🖤❤️

Comfort
This is my first new entry into the Vocal "Get Comfortable" Challenge This is an attempt at a Fibonacci poem (FIB) brought to my attention by Dharrsheena Raja Segarran’s poem “The Teardrop Crown” which you can read below, but with an acrostic format which requires an extra line.

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.
