Will You
04/07/03 |
Will you look at me with sorrow,
will you look at me with pain,
wondering if there will be a tomorrow,
feeling at times, there is no more to gain.
Will you watch me suffer and change,
will you be able to hold my hand,
many plans, many things to arrange, |
 |
knowing there many never be a wedding band.
Will you look at my son's eyes,
letting him know what's really in our souls,
will you be there and hold him through his cries,
uncomfortably feeling in this new role.
Will you be there through the good and bad,
hoping with prayers there are more to come,
will you regret or miss moments that you could've had,
though, not having it all, feeling blessed to have had some.
Will you go on without a trace,
of the love you so deeply felt,
will you memorize every feature of her face,
remembering solely, of the lite touch that made you melt.
Will the days after seem so long,
while you're busy in life with all your ups and downs,
will you feel any of the past was wrong,
while the emptiness seeps inside you, will you know no bounds

My Son
04/22/03 |
One day he was but a small kick in my belly,
moving all around, growing and waiting patiently for the day
he would make his grand entrance to this world.
One day he was in my arms, so soft and warm, while I would
hold him tenderly and sing lullabies to him for his soft slumber.
One day he was toddling around, touching, running, falling and
getting into things he wasn't really supposed to.
His cheerful laughter would fill the rooms and his smile would |
 |
brighten the darkest soul.
One day he would enter into the school, where he would learn to read,
write and become a young man someday, all too soon.
One day he would grow to be this young man and go to his first dance.
Dressing up so nicely and looking all too grown up, as though this had only
taken place overnite, rather than through many years of learning.
One day he would look down upon me as he waved to catch a place,
that would take him to his new beginning, to help erase his pain and sorrow,
only to start over again, fresh and full of hope.
One day he would stand tall and proud as he walked up to receive his diploma.
Unleashing him from his many memory-filled days of school.
One day he would smile openly, full of certainty, self-assurance and a real
purpose of himself and the life that lie ahead of him. One day, he would be
a man, my son.

Where
05/01/03 |
 |
Where did the time go,
we met so suddenly, it was like a whirlwind
the chemistry was so right, the laughter and the
love blossomed so exquisitely, no rose could
quite compare to the essence.
We were envied wherever we went,
couples looked at us in envy and smiles,
not quite sure how long we had been together
as one.. just knowing we were soul mates.
Did the clock stop ticking, I didn't notice
Did the garden's essence that we had firmly
planted within our souls go bare.
The once smoldering heat between us
had died down to a mere flicker, hardly
felt by anyone on a cold winter's night.
Our lips barely touched anymore,
when they did it was further than the
moon in the sky.
Where did our hearts go, in amidst all life's
trials and triumphs, did we let go so freely
or just forget to overlook, forgive and
rebuild what once was so beautiful.

Hidden Emotions
05/12/03 |
I've held the words in for so long
I didn't know whether to run and hide
or walk proudly shouting the emotions
that I had held deep inside for years.
I've dreamt of us together again,
wondering if it would be forever
or just a cherished moment in time.
I spoke the words nervously,
almost gasping for air that seemed
to evade me at the time.
I stood shaking while I heard my
voice speak clearly and with certainty.
I won't be able to say "I should've"
Now, the time is yours to ponder
my words and the sincerity behind them.
I hope you take the time needed
for the answers that will come to your heart.
I've never pushed or tried
to hold onto you, if I must
I will walk away again as
I have done so in the past.
This time I will know I tried,
I cried and I can take a deep
breath and go on.

My Child
07/06/03
|
I'll always remember the first time
I held you in my arms.
You were so tiny, it had been so
long since I had held something
so fragile and delicate.
One quick movement and you
could've easily broken like
an antique china dish.
I'll always remember your eyes,
they weren't open fully yet
I could feel their intensity
beneath their light veil.
Your fresh smell was intoxicating,
reminding me of a spring day
when the flowers were in full bloom
I'll always remember when
you came into my life,
my dear child.
You were and always have been
a sheer miracle and true blessing
unto the meaning of my life.

What Was Lost
09/21/03 |
The days seem endless
I count the hours into mere seconds
Life as I once knew it, is beyond
My reach. Though, I continue to
Dream.
The smile that once greeted me
In the morning hours, has formed
A constant frown. We were as one,
Now just two lost souls drifting.
The love you freely gave,
I wonder now if it was ever
Truly real. Hopes I once shared
Are no longer joined with yours.
The time went ever so quickly,
I wanted to capture every
Second. Yet, they vanished
And in the dust...
Mere particles are seen
With nowhere to form
Again.
The heart that beat so
Rapidly, like an excited
Child...
Now beats slower, saddened
By such loss that was cruelly
Taken away.
