Poem 34. DOMINIQUE

I am her voice...

You came to me like an angel
Yes, to me you were the one
I don't need any man, anymore
Because you're enough for me
To complete my life.

Your cry in the morning
Made me feel alive
Because I know that you ask
For another hug, another touch
So I have to cuddle you in my arms
And that made me happy all the time.

On the third month of your journey
In this cruel world of ours
You felt the pain
But you did not show it to me
All you did was to smile
And so I just hugged you
And sang my song for you.

But I don't know that my song
Would turn into mourning
The sorrow, the grief, the pain
I don't know how I'd scream.
You left me all of a sudden
Without a sign
But a gasp
With an unforgettable  smile.

I did everything to get you back
I cried, I knelt, I bowed down
I plead to everyone
I was like a fool in the street
Just to have you back
But you closed your eyes
And my world turned black
For I knew, it was the end.

You were my angel
And until now, you are.
I don't know if I'm crazy
When I see you as a butterfly.

Here in my heart, you're still alive
And forever will be my angel,
My Dominique...

A sad and beautiful poem.
"You were my angel
And until now, you are.
I don't know if I'm crazy
When I see you as a butterfly."
People who touch our life. Leave reminisce of things we need to hold on to. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Thanks for the visit, CP.

Oh that was so sad, beautiful but very sad. I was never blessed with any children, but I can't imagine the pain of losing one. In some cultures, a butterfly was thought to be the souls of the departed, especially children.

A baby here on earth for sometime but an angel forever...
Thanks for dropping by, thyra. It's nice to meet another Kabayan tonight. :)

this reminded me of my sibling's sentiment, "the moment i heard my baby's heartbeat is almost simultaneous with dad's last breath." it had been a consolation for us that although we lose someone we deeply love, a blessing is coming on the way. yet, we experienced pain once again as we lose a future bundle of joy only weeks thereafter. painful piece dhaye but be glad that they are all up there watching all of us down here, making silly of ourselves. lol

[Dhaye]

"making silly of ourselves..." Seems that you feel me...as having the same undertakings with you. LOL. You made me smile, Gab. I don't know why even in the most emotional piece, we came to each other with such little silliness.

Comparing your sibling's experience with my dear one's, I think it's more painful because your angel had been with you only for weeks. But for my beloved one, the time her angel was taken away from her after 3 months, her life was taken away, too.

Thank you for the read and such evocative review, my friend.

Many condolences for your loss of your daughter, Dominique, this is a beautiful, heart breaking piece, best wishes to you.

The truth is, I'm writing in different perspectives, Sheema. Yesterday, I'm a naughty guy...today, a battered wife....tomorrow, a happy lad. Sometimes I am an old woman, or an adult, or youth, or baby. I always put my feet on the others' shoes.
But one thing I'm sure of...this one is a true story, though it's not mine. I am just her voice here. That angel is also my angel...

Thank you so much for your kindness, Sheema. :)

[SHEEMA HUQ]

Oh I see, a tribute to a special loss, thank you for updating me :)

[Dhaye]

This person who's so dear to me has so much stories of pain...and of strength. I admire her for being strong. I cried for her and how I wish and pray she'll be happy soon.

And you're welcome, Sheema.
