Final Farewells Poem by John Sensele

Final Farewells

Rating: 3.0


Torrents of tears flow
At the demise of a beloved friend
Striking into our hearts a low blow
As against sorrow ourselves we can't defend

Morale fallen
Strength and breadth lost
Crestfallen
Emotional cost

Too high to bear
As uncertainties our future strikes
Amid wear and tear
At high speed likes

To wear us down
Where it hurts us the most
In our crown though we attempt to avoid a frown
We can't fail to post

On the sorrow we feel
In the inner sanctum of our being
Wondering why fate and destiny steal
The pleasure our departed bestow to the living

Whom they leave grieving
Lost without a clue
As to how receiving
Pain stacks in a blue

Tears hearts to pieces
In heaps of emotion
In pain creases
Metamorphosing affection

Into uncertainty
Streaming in stacks
Whose quality and quantity
Arriving in packs

Can't hide
The pain we struggle
To chide
In the gaggle

Sorrow rains
As we say farewell
In tandem with pains
To wish the living fast recovery and soon get well.
