Poem -

To Purge

I drew the picture myself

To Purge

Shock rushes through your very bonesĀ Ā 
To rise and fall like waves of a restless seaĀ Ā 
Plunging your heart deep into the cavity of an abyssĀ Ā 
Where all those go ā€“ that are amissĀ Ā 

You succumb to feeling numbĀ Ā 
The present now out of placeĀ Ā 
No traceĀ Ā 
No hintĀ Ā 
Not a single glintĀ Ā 
From what once felt so realĀ Ā 

A tangible beingĀ Ā 
To touchĀ Ā 
To smellĀ Ā 
To hearĀ Ā 
Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  ā€¦. Now you feelĀ Ā 

As they persist to exist in your mindĀ Ā 
You accept in vainĀ Ā 
This insane reality that breeds fearsĀ Ā 
At last -Ā Ā 
You purge your grief with tears

Wow! . . . WOW!Ā  I am almost speechless, Gwen. Firstly I am just going to say, your art work is fantastic! It really is. This picture you drew/painted should be in a gallery. You can almost wipe that tear way with your finger and expect to get it wet! šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘Ā  'king brilliant!!
The poem is just superb? Just like the picture shows a real tear so does your poem show full emotion. It reeks of emotion that the reader can actually feel. Amazing work... an artist in every sense of the word. WOWww!!!

Love it pinned itĀ  āš˜x

Gwen a masterclass in both drawing and a poem that perfectly mirrors said image.
Equally sublime and superb!
You are one gifted person to do both with great elan and style.
Love the emotion you have put into your poem for it really delivers the sadness endured, then captured and redirected for one and all.
Full honours for both and good poets sparkle and unique poets shine.
And you shine Gwen.
And oh so brightly!ā­ļøā¤ļø

I tried to pick out some lines Gwen but I couldn't. The words you have chosen and the format are perfect. A perfect reflection on loss that is too huge to be called grief. Hugs and hugs....ā™„ļøā™„ļø
