Poetry and creative writing

Poetry and creative writing:

The following is an example of one of my poems that attempts to describe the painful process of my husband's passing:

MOSAIC


I gather the fragments of my shattered life
Shades ranging from pale to deep blue
I trace my finger around the pieces 'til I see
The portrait of my life here with you

I arrange the pieces one by one
Into a picture that will make sense
Forming a mosaic of our wonderful life
A reflection of emotions intense

The crystalline pieces craft a pattern so bold
One of love, of hope and of tears
A mosaic of passion, ecstasy and joy
That we shared throughout the years

Our colorful past is our palette of life
Bright colors representing our glee
Pastels and soft colors speak of our bliss
And the love you bestowed upon me

The Pink is our love as it blossomed in Spring
The Purple's for passion we shared
And Yellow is the sunshine that filled our lives
Portraying how deeply we cared

Rose is for happiness we shared in life
The Orange for exquisite joy
Green is for envy by all who watched
As we flaunted our love like a toy

As the sun is eclipsed by angry clouds
The prophecy's not clear to me
The kaleidoscope of colors change once again
Predicting all that is NOT meant to be

The colors have darkened to a deeper shade
The Magenta's for you to get well
The Grey is for shock and also for fear
Red is anger at the bells final knell

The shadowy pieces tumble onto the floor
In a myriad of darkening hues
The black’s for bleak days when I am alone
As my heart overflows with deep blues

Our beautiful mosaic now lies at my feet
Of days gone too quickly by
An aura of tear drops form the image I see
A vision to make angels cry
