Both dainty and distressing,
As tears escape twin rivers of the soul.
Convenient time I gave,
Infrequently expressing
The sentiment between routine and role.
Words left unspoken,
Considered unnecessary,
Sunshine and shadows, petals and tears.
Now the bridge is broken,
The chance was temporary,
To cross back and stroll through tender years.
Eulogies and regret,
As mysterious as jade,
I failed to say what I really meant.
A cemetary debt,
For love that went unpaid,
And greeting cards never sent. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 210 [topic] => 13 [informant] => robin6436 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 18 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Flowers for a grave,
Both dainty and distressing,
As tears escape twin rivers of the soul.
Convenient time I gave,
Infrequently expressing
The sentiment between routine and role.
Words left unspoken,
Considered unnecessary,
Sunshine and shadows, petals and tears.
Now the bridge is broken,
The chance was temporary,
To cross back and stroll through tender years.
Eulogies and regret,
As mysterious as jade,
I failed to say what I really meant.
A cemetary debt,
For love that went unpaid,
And greeting cards never sent.

A most beautiful poem......
I can only imagine the pain you have been going through. One thing though, dont torture yourself on what might have been or wish you had said this or that......your real thoughts will be known and cherished. We can all at some stage wish we could turn back the clock. Your son will know what you meant to him now and forever.
my very best wishes to you.......

Words alone cannot express how deeply this beautiful poem has touched me. It brought tears to my eyes.

I too am finding it difficult to comment on this incredibly beautiful dedication to your son as it has moved me deeply . I can only imagine your pain and my heart goes out to you.

Thank you Chrissie, the pain doesn't go away but the writing does help. I am sorry I have not replied before but have been without a pc for several months. Thank you again.
