Pantoum on Loss

Kaytee

Pantoum
In the darkness of loss I am undone
You remind me of trees with silver moss
Swaying in the breezes of the marsh
Your poetry echoes in my ears

You remind me of trees with silver moss
Memories of you take away my breath
Your poetry echoes in my ears
You were a lesson for my heart

Memories of you take away my breath
Bitter sweet remembering
You were a lesson for my heart
Red flags flashing before my eyes

Bitter sweet remembering
Sessions on listening to my voice
Red flags flashing before my eyes
Love is not meant to scar

Sessions on listening to my voice
In the darkness of loss I am undone
Red flags flashing before my eyes
Your poetry still echoes in my ears

About this poem
