Time to let you go
13 December 2015
Embers’ trail
Dull feeling of fire
The core numb
The limbs frail
From unreal I beg a crumb
Dreaded woods to stoke
Ghostly trace
Whispers of your face
Glistening
Slow fading
Your traits linings of dark clouds
Please summon the rain
The mind’s dread
Winding memory
Music box
Crimson scars
You twinkle now in the stars
Your song in my head
Memory’s lane
Walking on stray glass
Shredded feet
Eyelids’ flood
Your heartbeat alive in pain
Coursing through my blood
Heartbreak’s ebb
Time to let you go
Heartbreak’s flow
Heartache’s peak
Panic striking me so weak
The thought of goodbyes
It’s not goodbye – Laura Pausini

Reblogging from another poet as it is so appropriate to where my soul is today.
Thank you. It is a Time for letting go for many
I struggled to read it all in one go. Not because I don’t like it but because it struck a chord. Perfection. You’ve said what many others feel. Somewhat raw for me. However, I continue to love your work and you continue to provide wonder, enchantment and magic into my day.
I believe it will be raw for many but it is truly a Time for letting go. Thank you Annie as always for your beautiful perceptive and sensitive human spirit.
On a different note, I’ve nominated you for the dragon loyalty award. For some reason you too make me think of that mythical creature 🙂 so I hope to be able to read soon 7 interesting facts about you. Keep well Annie. Letting go is also rebuilding not just losing a part of yourself

You are welcome. Your words need to be read by more people.
Words, artwork and song. Amazing. Added the song to my favorite. To release something we love. Is very hard.
Thank you John. Am glad you liked the song, it is one of my favourites
I’m listening to it now and you are welcome. WordPress is cool. Bring to our attention. Music , we would had missed.

Letting go is so painful…and then comes the alone – time with our own thoughts. Such a very heartbreaking and damaging time for me during grief with only our thoughts to talk to. Love this, Geetha.
Very true Eric but it does not have to be only our thoughts. Am glad you love it. I find letting go is a process that does not happen all at once whatever we are letting go, dreams, hopes, parts of ourselves when we have to or people we love. It happens in stages with our hearts and minds going through different emotions and their hues as we let go. In fact it is healthy not to let go all at once but slowly, letting the space for each emotion to express itself before all are spent and we are truly ready to move on. We just need to learn to let the emotions happen without being too submerged or overwhelmed by them to a point where we could lose ourselves fully. At least it has worked well for me to grieve in that way, whatever it was that I was grieving for. Keep well Eric. May any grieving times always be light on your heart and soul my friend
I hope one day, I can apply as much wisdom to this as you, Geetha. You’re a remarkable woman. Thank you..and I hope that things are well for you too.
Welcome and thank you. They say necessity is the mother of invention. Thanks for asking; all I can say is I have been in better places 🙂
Goodbyes are never definite.. Especially when it’s a love! That stays imprinted on your soul! Forever guiding and felt.. A beautifully constructed poem Geetha! Flows indeed.. 😉
Thank you Paul. Am not sure you saw it yet but you’ve been nominated by me for the dragon loyalty award in my previous post and we get to discover 7 interesting facts about you 🙂

Letting go is hard. Sigh. Your poem is melancholy and wistful. Love it.
Thank you Tosha. Yes it is very hard but sometimes it is the only option you have.
Very true!
