Letting Go Poem by Stephen Tunney

Letting Go

Rating: 4.8


Woosh, over to the phone,

Crash, the handheld splatters...

True happiness is what I felt,
Shocking to see why she left.

Thud, silky hair slips through my grip.

Wrath, a subsidiary of foolishness,
Letting go was the easiest part.

Fatigue sets in, a twitching smile
As her memory fades in my mind.
Sweethearts until the bitter end.

Love is a spiritual experience that affects all and sundry profoundly. It's whimsical and temperamental, coming unannounced and may leave without warning. A well articulated piece of poetry nicely penned. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
