Mourning

by Dawn Pisturino

Now the mourning begins.

I draw the black veil of sorrow

Across my face,

Hiding my weeping eyes.

My heart bleeds internally,

And I cannot stop

The flood of blood and tears

Engulfing me.

My black dress rustles as I walk. . .

Please go HERE to read the rest of the poem. Thank you.

Have a lovely day!

Dawn Pisturino
