sUnBUrNs

he left it there sitting on a shelf
in the sun
didn't need it he said, his fun
days were done
just left, just like that
to burn with the sun, didn't
need light
he said
the dark days had come
he retreated and shrivelled
refused to come back, we
waited, we prayed for a miracle
attack
but he never retrieved that lost
part of himself
his ashes sit there, in the sun,
on a shelf

I really havent put much on. Not proper poetry like you and Jill. I dont know how you manage to upload so many most days!!
I get on cos some days and then not others. Time is the reason. So I'll read what I can! Or catch up on my favourite poets, like you 😁

Flattery will get you everywhere, you've got the job!! πŸ˜†πŸ˜† I live on my own now so in the absence of people to rant at..I rant on here lol...and Pratibha, I disagree, your words are always soulful and beautiful and we miss them. There is no such thing as 'proper' poetry...get back in here when you can ok...hugs πŸ’•

XD, awww no fuss Marion! We all have our busyness, and it seems even more so for a popular poet like yourself. Never seen a grotty poem from you Marion! :) best wishes to you.

No...lol...I'm not a VIP...you know, it's a shame you missed a few no longer on here. Very excellent poets...Icarus flock, Blank Portrait ....now, they were something else!! I really miss Mr flocks work...it was truly unique...I think you might have been in awe of his work Max...
