Hushaby whispers ~

Hushaby whispers,

 shadowy moonlit sighs

     hasten'd steps

 

abided

 to that gated expanse above 

  fantasy's chain'd melodic bond

you left without singing

    a farewell lullaby in kind remorse

even in death you speak softly, 

          glint my mind's eye

spirit's dancing beyond

        ether's cobalt'd skies

hearts on anguish'd fire within 

        crimson's soaked blood curse 

release me from this enduring pain,

    contrition'd regrets prevail in your name

I believe this speaks of a dear life lost before they are given the chance to truly deal what they are capable of, but instead making a move that has the same affects and intensity, but affects the lives of everyone differently: no longer accomplishing, but sorrowing, no longer full of joy and pride but regret. This actually brings back a quote I've written in my journals just a few days ago: "Love is eternal, but not the profound and extravagant feelings that it is often associated with. Love is a storm that leaves its scars on the body of the world, or at least mine, eternally, never to dissipate, and to forever serve as evidence of the pain once felt by a lover."
Well written piece, Frieda. Well done.

Wow, I love that quote Tai, I just might have to steal it. I wrote this about my sister Lee actually, she committed suicide and the pain lingers indefinitely. Thanks so much for your thoughts.

[Tai Ryens]

I actually thought it would be, although I'm rather shy and get flustered when mentioning personal details of other's lives. I commend you for having lived through that pain, though. It's truly tragic that people would take their own lives, due to any circumstances that may happen to arise. Well done, I must mention again, well done and poignant piece indeed.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Simple, elegant and without fault, well done.

[Frieda P]

Contrition'd regrets prevail in your name..... a message to yourself no doubt. Loss always brings self examination...or at least it always has for me.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Roger, I actually wrote it for my beloved sister, much appreciate your thoughts.

My dear friend, I never know quite what to say in these instances, or how to articulate it without sounding like I'm reeling off the same things you've probably heard countless times. The last two lines just stopped me in my tracks. In the beginning it felt universal, but as it progresses it becomes more about you, and by the time I got to the end, my eyes were damp. You know my heart is with you, especially on the day I write this. Love and hugs I send your way...xoxo

[Frieda P]

I was almost afraid to read this, figured you'd bring tears to my eyes yet again with your sweet sentiments, thanks so much my dear friend. xo

[kublakhan27]

Always a pleasure dear friend :) xo

[Lydia Shutter]

Your poems about your sister are so touching, my friend. Shame and sorrow mingle in her memory....what a poignant mix! "Hushaby" such a comforting word.....the entire poem has me sighing. Beautifully written straight from your heart. Lydi**

[Frieda P]

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much E, appreciate your kindness, truly.

[redzone]

I see "regrets" all over the floor, bleeding sorrow,pain and loneliness.. rushing headling I want to gather them together fitting and gluing them into a whole and as I do I see you... ;-( and all I can think is (((((Frieda))))) "even in death you speak softly" one day perhaps the words will be loud enough for you to understand... ~~redzone

[Frieda P]

Perhaps, thanks so much my sweet friend. Muchly appreciated.
