Must I Still Laugh? Poem by I Am Charlie

Must I Still Laugh?

Rating: 5.0


'You're dead.'
'Yes.'
A thought, gently unspoken.
'Must I still laugh? '
he breathes tenderly,
'All the harder, love.'
A wistful sigh escapes
when she settles her chin
once more on her knees,
and the whispers are scattered away

With what simple elegance you set up the situation and tenderly allow it to unfold and blossom into itself. Masterly. A thing of beauty. Quite perfect. love Dónall Dónall

Poignant and so touching. Yes, sometimes its best to laugh instead of cry, you do it often enough and the laughter will weave its way into your heart and it will become real. :) thank you for sharing :)
