Deep Dark Abyss
I look up at our sky
You shall forever live on
Deep within this heart of mine,
To My Muse
The heavens must have opened up
For too many of my lifes prescious years
For too many of my life’s prescious years,
Our friendship never was as it appears,
We never learned to listen with our ears
Running from all of our terrible fears,
a deep rooted love tarnished by my tears.
For all good endings we should hail with cheers,
For too many of my lifes prescious years,
and I see you surrounded by light and warmth.
I ask again and again,
how can we be at the same place at the same time?
I stop and look around at the darkness.
Aah yes, now I am back at home.
Everything is slow and strained
and sadly familiar here.
Where are you? I can't feel you.
Oh yes, I remember you're here and
I can see you but you can't truly see who I am.
I am not this person before you.
I've lost the person I am and
I'm afraid she's gone forever.
Can anyone hear me?
I guess nobody can.
I'm much too far in this deep,
dark abyss.
In loving Memory Of Virginia Gambert
this heart that’s shattered to pieces
from your loss I feel sadness and pain
- Yet still
the wind carries your whispers.
In my ears I hear your voice
from the heaven you’ve found above.
You speak to me of a wonderful place
where the dark cloud of your pain is gone.
You say, “ it’s ok my child,
it was time for my life to end”.
I argue that your
journey seems to have just begun.
Your next sweet words begin with a sigh
that is as gentle as the rain
-knowing that in all truth you don’t need
to stop and explain…..
“ The loved ones I leave behind
here on earth
carry me in their hearts,
and as long as you carry around that love
I will never truly depart”.
Your words whispered through the wind
have given me such peace.
Yet when I think of your lovely face
I still feel a tinge of grief.
Through your words I have learned
It doesn’t matter how many years may come
The love for you that we all hold in our hearts
Shows your legacy has just begun
-and as I tuck my babes in bed
and cover them nice and warm
I see you in their gentle faces,
And I know that you will forever live on.
to send a gift such as you
I don’t know why I deserve such a blessing
To say the absolute truth
We have had and will have many rocky roads
In the coming years
But I’ve no doubt that together
We will conquer any obstacles or fears
Together we have become one
And yet we are still two separate spirits
Making discoveries about life, love, and sensuality’s
Most secret secrets
Whenever I believe I am unable to go on
You simply hold my hand
And your love lights up the darkest room
And quells my deepest fears
Marriage is defined to each couple
With a different set of rules
But ours is best described as a vine
Intertwining through out the years
As we grow old together I hold onto one absolute truth
Our love will transcend space and time
And forever bind us together
I am writing this poem
As many poets have throughout the years
Before me
And I ask all who have come before me to look
Deeply at these words
This dance of words
The power of his Love
Has erupted through my pen
And this was brought on and powered
By one extraordinary man
My husband, my muse, my partner, my love
I will forever hold my heart for none other than you
And I am left with only my soul.
in the hopes that our friendships strength would grow,
my heart filled with trust, ignored my worst fears.
growth stunted by father times’ normal flow.
For too many of my life’s prescious years,
you withheld your love not trusting, although,
my heart filled with trust, ignored my worst fears.
tarnishing our lovely friendships glow.
For too many of my life’s prescious years,
Though I suppose there’s nothing that you owe,
my trust filled heart ignored my worst fears.
though this is difficult because I know;
my heart filled with trust ignored my worst fears.
