G O N E !

A Poem by Sammi
"

My 1st Free Style poem promised my teacher Richard before Chrismas but I'm a forlorn mess this time of year.

"



G  O   N   E   !


No tenderness of now

upon my sad brow,

nor warmth of

your breath.


Many a night

my heart’s drifted

to bright days bygone,

dreams lingering ’til death.


Each moment’s embrace

by dark’s lonely grip

felt my heart’s pain

of your last days;

oh, I’d not see

your loving

manly face

e’er again.


Life’s a’spin,

it’s a daze I’m in,

I’ll be much stronger

on each beat of the drum.


Swallows grow still,

clouds no longer

beckoned from

high sunlit skies,

sad tears overflowing

from these colorless eyes;

an Afghan bullet scored a kill.

Hello again Sammi,
I just had to read a few more of your poems..
I am crying as I type this.. my heart aches.
I will be 74 years old next week.. life is going by so very quickly. I am still crazy in love with my husband.
The mere thought of ever losing him is so painful.
This is quite a deep poem Sammi..

Separation can feel like death I completely agree but your poem is a nice ode that remembers loss romantically. Additionally this poem makes a great journal entry, while offering some closure without needing the other person to be present.

"Afghan bullet scored a kill"
each relationship makes us stronger or kills us...
we have to withstand and move on.
relationships can leave us dizzy wondering what happened...
I have been dizzy many times.

Dear Sammi, what a sadly beautiful and melancholic wonderful poem, written completely from the heart...I felt it indeed....and as you said:
Life’s a’spin,
it’s a daze I’m in,
I’ll be much stronger
on each beat of the drum.

Time, time is the best medicine in God´s pharmacy shop, and may he Bless you enormously with all that you need always and always :-)
