Array ( [sid] => 176151 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => MJS [time] => 2013-05-25 16:03:20 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I have the strength to live,
To handle whatever life throws at me,
But can I try again? This I don’t know,
The thought of repetition I cannot bear,
Solitary my keeper now is without voice,
The rest of the world believe it by choice,

Weakness only is our strength,
And strength only our perception,
Of what makes us love at length,
Without any real or fake deception,

Selfish maybe - it’s my soul that bleeds,
Knowing you’re in a better place,
Instead of in my arms,
Knowing I’ll never hear your laugh,
See you smile or be able to stop your tears,
Only have an image in my mind,
Of the reality that should have been,

I ask of my friends only 1 thing,
Not to hesitate to speak his name,
For I long to hear it all the time,
Good or bad, I know that,
I will never be the same again,

No-one knows the depth of my fear,
Not standpat, only the one,
I know myself and the reason for my tears,
Soon I’ll be able to see you,
Maybe just once,
I hope for eternity,

I look at you inside this dark and cold space,
Where only we 3 can ever see truth,
Whilst others only their version of truth,
Twisted and unknown as it may be,
I know that this place remains my solace,

I ask only 1 thing for my future,
To afford me the time,
To correct my past before I meet you again,
In the Chamber without circumscription,
My final seconds spent declaring my pleas,
If only I’m fortunate enough to be on my knees,

I now live in hope,
That you are not blinded,
By the light that drew you afar,
For I know my past and,
I live only to right past wrongs,

Before judgment is called upon me,
Knowing when this day comes,
I may lose you forever. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 147 [topic] => 39 [informant] => Anon_Mal [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )

Thank you emy. I wrote this 3 years ago after losing my son.

I wasn't too sure whether it was "too heavy" or raw for putting on this website...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
