flowers were not an option for me from him so i bought 400 blood red roses that touched him from his head to his feet i was chastized from beyond the realm of the earth and death. well. it was the last gift that i could give him. so. they told me not to see or touch his body so i hunted him down and watched every move they made with him, then i kissed his pale lips again and once more, his hair, and my mind was made to be calmer whilst i talked to him his answers coming into my heart, soul, and mindless mind; i wrote him a letter that i read to him at the funeral and they tell me i held his hand and gave him the pages to hold as i read aloud but i tell you now that he did in fact take them gently from my fingers, i felt more peaceful about the whole thing, and sweetly smiled... (one can only imagine what ran through their minds at the time) i had also mentioned how he and i had walked barefoot in the snow but really it wasn't for them i spoke; only to us, they weren't even there... 'locked away in one's room is not a good thing to do,' they said. 'he's dead life goes on, come out you've been writing days on end!' though in truth when i did it i felt more human, repeatedly i was told he was dead and gone and not coming back but when my hands and fingers were on the blue ceramic indian urn softly i whispered to him knowing i clearly was hearing his reply; those evenings brought more restful sleep and shadows went to away...

Dark but true? I'd be very reluctant to post something as personal and as emotionally vibrant an outpouring as this, myself. I know you do it time and again, and I feel very privelidged to be able to look inside your past and aspirations within your writes, which are full of poignant and serene imagery. It took me back to a Dark, yet truthful time of my own.
I'm thankful you've shared this with us. |

This brought tears to my eyes. I could see it all in my mind and I felt so much sorrow for you. You have such heart, sensitivity, honesty and when you write you always touch my heart. I am so sorry for your loss and I thank you for this deeply moving poem.

To endure such a loss is more that anyone should have to bear. This one truly brought tears to my eyes my friend. There is such honesty and anguish....I have no words.
Doesnt seem fitting to offer you a rose for this, so I will offer my friendship instead.

Such a beautiful image of a rose. It really, brings the poem to life. Not like the words werent enough. This poem spills so much depth and emotion into my heart that I am overwhelmed. So exotic and beautiful yet if you tilt it a bit there is a hint of a dark side.
Beautiful... As your heart
Kisses,
~Soulless~ |
