The Urn

dark lonesome soul mate
a friend's love lost forever
cold september rain
soaking me
a smile no more
solace not found
a heart that bleeds
my weary heart aches
but cannot be consoled
from wounds unattended
I grow tired of solitude
darkness falls and still
the rain continues
like  the  tears
that I cry
for you
my love
my friend
my soulmate

    I like your images. Did you mean to make it that shape? It works well with the theme.

    The piece was written by afireflys7souls. I saw a vague shape in the poem and asked permission to rewrite to tighten this feminine vase form. She likes the poem's rebirth...

    I say! A beautifully crafted poem with emotions that move the heart.. Brilliant write. To tell you the truth, when I first saw that 'friends' didn't have an apostrophe, I did get a bit pissed off that people are not reading the rules, but looking back at it after reading the whole poem, I realized in this context, it's better left unattended. The flow is uninterrupted then, like the tears of the persona... Great job.. Thanks for entering and good luck in my contest!
    by the way, might I ask what the unfinished title is about? That is, what you put or were trying to put in the brackets... "(A varation on: " ??

    This was well written, with nicely chosen words - it described clearly the loss you felt, and there was pain / raw emotion in the background ... Flowed very well - nice job and thanks for sharing with us

    love it

    I like wat you have done here.. srry to have taken so long in lookin at it. The shape is very sensual, feminine..to me it seems to soften the shape and pull you into the pain of the words, by drawing your attention to the shape.TY

    You helped me find the title! I see it as the death of a close friend, the urn of the ashes.

    This is a rewrite of afireflys7souls work. I noticed the shape, commented on and with permission adjusted it to the vase feminine form which holds water and receives gifs of flowers, like the soul of a woman. You are not going bonkers, seeing things. I want you to see these things!

    Like a bereavement. Powerful and touching. This also looks good on the page - it is like an urn - I mean the shape the words make - I know, I'm probably losing my mind!
