Word of the Day Challenge #100-Untitled Poem

Quiet contemplation

questions answered

as only I can answer them

seated

waves crash to shore

grey the day

bird overhead crying

a solo aria

or

a call to a loved one?

Stars light the sky

inky black

twinkle diamonds

memories

no more regret

remembered with fondness

two different people

lost in the world

who came together by chance.

Dawns golden mauves

hints of red

dew drops of pink

tears do fall

for I know what I must do

it is time

time to purge my life of you.

Family

friends

have watched me mourn

have wondered when I would put past to rest

when I would come back to life.

They misconstrue

desire for solitude

yearning to be alone

comes not because I miss

comes not because I am lonely

comes from finally being rid of you

your nattering mouth

bloated body

a small smile flits across my face.

Silence is golden

so they say.

I…..

for one

agree…..

silence is golden

when taken away by me.
