After Goodbye

Gisela Vigil 1959 (Cuba)

Sonnet
After Goodbye
(A Sonnet)

Be strong my heart, for love has departed.
See not the sun, have no strength to pretend.
Shattered pieces of something once started.
Our tale is not a story without end.
Be strong my mind as in corner you hide.
Wishes unfilled, shines not a single star.
Empty are colors of shadows inside.
On broken dream, hope travels not too far.
Searching to find cure to ease the pain.
A remedy for hope to be reborn.
No flowers grow on heartbroken terrain.
Upon farewell, lays heart shattered and torn.

After goodbye, it seems the world will end.
Time, only cure that helps a heart to mend.

Thank you for welcoming me to this community. I was born in Cuba but emigrated with my family to the US when I was three. I am mother to three young adults now, and also a grandmother. I’ve been writing for years, some I share, others I still keep in my personal file. I often write of struggles for we all face them as we journey through life. But still, I feel peace knowing I try my best. Feel blessed to have been given the gift of writing which I strive to improve cause there’s always room for growth. more…
