July burns

07/2013

If I could put this off any longer

I probably would

but my heart won't let me 

anymore

I don't quite know how to

form what I feel into words

but I have to try

For the most beautiful little girl

in the whole world

For my beloved Anya

When I look at your pictures

I am overwhelmed with emotions

I can't even describe

So far away

The farther it becomes

the harder it is to breath

the more July burns

Every night I reach out to you

willing the love

I am unable to hold inside

Hoping that it touches you

that it pushes your golden hair

from your quiescent face

and kisses your forehead

That it prays over you

and spills the tears

of joy

that I would

if I were there

So beautifully written, such powerful emotions expressed. You talk about how you cannot describe how you feel, but in these lines, you say it all so perfectly. When a writer becomes silenced, you know he feels true and pure love beyond comprehension.

Very beautiful, so powerful, deeply emotional.
I loved this Josh. It made me think of someone. Maybe in a different context than was meant but it's stirred me. For me, it's December that burns... :(

Your command of cadence is as effective as ever. Good title choice, I like the short stanzas. Well done.

Awe, this poem had so much love in it that it makes me sad. I loved the feel of emotions in it. I know you don't see her often, but remember she will always love you. She is your little girl. She knows you can't always be there, but she wishes you can. Plus she has a great father. I loved the poem in general! Thanks for sharing older brother.

This is so sweet my dear, and beautiful.... Your love for her is strong, unconditionally, and this shed me to tears, we know why... Through the years, there is a heart, of warmth, that is yours, and one day, all shall be in the channel of light... as her golden hair, and her trust she watches us with... This moved me so deeply, I can read it over and over, and feel the love... from the sweetest daddy their is. Much love my buddy...

Always,
Elisa
