Grief comes uninvited
Like a thief in the dark
Without pausing to seek permission
Settles in the heart like an intruder

From grief to love. And all other emotions. Your mind and heart express their essence through your remarkable poetry. Thank you so much, Valsa for sharing your precious gift!
This is a perfect description of grief. Beware those guests who may seem dull and unassuming. Indeed, their mere arrival may spell the demise of our well-being. A great poem, Valsa. This is going on my favourites list.
Grief has rarely been so vividly described with fantastic imagery. It was a pleasure reading your poem after a break. If at all there was any grief lurking at the bottom of my heart, it has now fled. Thanks. (10)
Considering grief as an uninvited guest or a tenant who never bothers to pay rent for the lovely house of heart is a nice idea. Who invites griefs but it's part of our life. A wonderful poem.
Grief comes uninvited and will not leave when told. So beautifully developed in the poem.
Very well-crafted write from your poetic pen. An excellent personification of grief as an intruder who dwells in our hearts uninvited. The title is spot-on. You don't title it grief, you title it intruder...this is so wise n smart. Another poem that speaks volumes about your poetic prowess. A super 10.
You pegged it straight and true. Sorrow and grief are demonic intruders, filleting and eating up the hard-earned peace and hope we have stored in our hearts and souls. There are seasons that they are natural visitors because there are the seasons of death and sore trials but they always want to over-stay and become permanent residents, don't they? Excellent and vivid write, Valsa. 10 is written all over this work! !
Like an ugly spider! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Grief is all consuming that smothers us with sadness, regrets and a aching loss that can never be replaced. Superb write Valsa!
