21. Our Love Is Forever
Mornings in the summer
Autumn's evening mist
Snowflakes on my window
Solitude exists
Mornings in the summer
Autumn's evening mist
Snowflakes on my window
Solitude exists

Time heals all wounds they say,
but I have one that never goes away.
The loss of you has left a spot
deep in my heart that time forgot.

Suicide the headline screams
And everyone turns their head
Too frightened, too shocked, too ignorant
To acknowledge that he is dead
Hi Audrey,
Thank you for responding and sharing your story with me. My husband also suffered from bi-polar, so I understand your fear and your pain. What got me through the many years was to...
Alone in my darkness I still see your face,
sometimes your presence and your warm embrace.
I look 'round the house; it's calling your name,
but nothing I see here quite feels the same.
I left a simple rose today.
I laid it down upon your grave.
Then memories came rushing - from the past,
of our lives together; we said it would last.
Your loss came so unexpectedly.
I thought many more years we would have to share.
But God had another plan
and at times the loss and grief are things I just can't bear.
I had to respond and thank you for your posting and story. I too lost my partner, husband, and best friend in May of 2010 when our son was only 14 months old. Had it not been for that...
I tell myself I need
to take baby steps
beginning with his shoes.
Plastic bag in hand I enter the closet
Luann:
First of all I'm so sorry for the loss of your life partner. I can only imagine how difficult that would be! I do have to tell you that very few poems have transported me to a scene...
Famous Poem
A loose limb hangs upon a pine three log-lengths from the ground,
A norway tumbles with a whine and shakes the woods around.
The loose limb plunges from its place and zigzags down below;
And Jack is lying on his face—there's red upon the snow.
You're not here
For me to see
My heart longs for
The day to be
Together for over fifty years,
times of laughter and of tears.
I fell in love with all his charms,
could dance forever in his arms.
I hope and pray you do indeed get at least 50 years with your other half.
Thank you for your lovely comment about my writing. It means a great deal. Very best wishes, Ann.
