A World Without Her

A World Without Her

A Poem by Another Relic

A million times I've shed my tears
Though still her touch I miss.
Without her death, we could have lived
Unbridled in our bliss.  

Our future lives were seized by grief,
I'm hostage now to pain.
That jocund voice no longer sings,
My pleas, I cry in vain.  

My fingers arch with shaky hands
The letters on her stone.
I'm puzzled why we both exist
Dissected and alone.  

For I - with time - shall never rest
Nor ever feel complete
Until that day at heaven's gate
Where once again, we'll meet.

Thank you.
I loved this clever poem, I enjoyed the words you used as they seem to be of older time period, it is so sad that no matter how many millions of tears we cry, we cannot bring our loved one back, well done this is truly touching :)

Thank you KT.
Monumentally emotional write. When a loved one is gone, we visit the grave and see the cold stone while remembering the warmth and the love. Nice to believe you will be reunited someday.....it keeps you going. Beautifully written. The rhythm and rhyme are super. Lydi**

...there is an eloquence to this that makes me shiver. It's truly penned beautifully, with a promise your reader can rely upon - and that is that we will be reunited with our loved ones, once again!

This is beautiful. Losing someone you love is very hard to bounce back from and everyday living is spent grateful that you're one day closer to being with them.

I think I have read your works before... I often read in silence without commenting. I think you're really good at structure and creating rhymes. It reads very smoothly although I have to admit I'm not overly into your choice of words for I am more into pieces which read a tad more contemporary or modern. Your words read a lot like ones from past times, even centuries, which is a nice way to write and it requires skill you obviously have yet also always a question of personal taste. All in all, a very well penned poem.

Powerfully and poetically expressed. The sadness shines with a heavy beauty.
