Title: Kitkatz-Poetry 2
Post by: kitkatz on September 11, 2015, 08:54:11 PM
This poem wrote itself the other night in my head and had to get out onto paper.
Endings
Standing on the bluff overlooking The spot where your ashes disappeared as The last of you left me alone forever.
I cry a demand for you to come back. I feel your spirit with me, However it is not the same.
I miss your touch, your kiss, Your backrubs at night. The silly talks we had a midnight As we settled down, ending our day.
Some nights I wait for you To come to bed with me. But then I remember you are not here.
I will only have a chance to scream I love you To the universe and hope you hear me. I can only hang on to what I know.
What I know is I talk to your spirit each day. I wake up with “good morning” on my lips Unitl I remember there is no one there. I say it anyway. I say “good night” each midnight. Ending my day with thoughts of you.
I can only hope your spirit is intertwined with mine And you have not really left me here alone.

Per Carolyn's request:
Elsie
She was quite a character A strong-willed woman A mind of her own.
Carolynn would drag her over to the computer to say hello Skype must have seemed a miracle to her To greet someone thousands of miles away There were gifts sent from across the sea With jelly beans and always something pink A T-shirt or a hat, just so it was colored puke (pink) Elsie got a kick out of it all Laughter and giggles Or as she might have said Its all shits and giggles till someone shits
She loved her Dougal dog She was the one who spoiled him Bossed Carolynn around to walk the dog and feed him Her daughter claims Elsie treated him better than her He was as another son, a four footed one
Death is never kind to anyone Elsie took it, too, on her own terms. She decided when she would finally have her last breath She proved she was stronger than she looked at times Carolyn watched her Mum pass with dignity
Here is to Elsie May memories of others carry her forever.

a passed soul, in poetic words, Aye, when that urge arrives, best to not deny, words that cause cry, words that carry memories, words reliving those memories, sad, but true, but be not blue, I am, this moment, smiling with you.

Who can hear the birds sing in the tree, only me. Who can hear the wind rattle the leaves of the tree only me Who can hear the child of the refugee only me The dirty air is killing the sea or is it me War is killing all we see Will it kill little old me?
Gerald, that was terrible. Yep,I know. Shoulda paid attention in that Humanities class. \
