Art and Grief- Painting by Bethany Tobin

Those perfidious friends
My faint-hearted lover
The hollowed bones inside
Muted cries of all nights
All were like the grapes
of grievous cluster
producing nothing but
abundant wine of pain.

  6. You’ve written it in such a powerful way that each and every word subtly expresses the pain you’re trying to describe. Amazing!

  14. Kritika, I am catching up with your writing and was reading from newest to oldest. I noticed the theme of melancholic pain and then read this poem. The beauty of it in expressing that hurt from deceitful friends and a lover aloof to the hurt is striking. The metaphor of a grievous grape cluster and wine of pain is powerful. Beautiful penmanship from a deep and sensitive heart. (I do hope this isn’t from real pain of a like nature)

    • I am so glad to hear that you liked my melancholic words, Dan. Means a lot to me. The reason of the melancholic theme is coming up soon. I just need to take out so more time. Hope I do it in couple of days.
      They are nothing but the reflection of what I have observed and experienced. Thank you for your appreciation and support. šŸ™‚
