Short-Lived

in my eagerness to make a love poem...

 

I encase the memories you had given

I cherish the feelings we’ve shared

Life came up short-lived

Death has entwined his arms around you

I can’t untangled what fate has brought

I had crossed river boundaries

Built a bridge toward a better way

Still I end up in loose end

Why? Why must we part ways when all is okay?

I had lived-up to the depth of sadness, until you came along

And drain all its vastness into glowing warmth

I feel alive in your arms

Content of its loving embrace

…Then…

Some warm emotions are not forever meant

 For us to feel each passing days of our lives

some short, some takes years

but then it will never be eternal

I guess it will always be

Short-lived

For life is too short to waste

I missed you, dearest soul

Walking in the valley of grieving

I learned to live

Living without you at arm’s reach is bearable

I cultured the days without you

To live up to be a much better man than before

You have taught me how to embrace myself

How acceptance made an impact in your dying memory

You’re my teacher, my best-friend, my lover and my wife

I can’t believe in such short time

You have healed the dying lands of my Journey

I will be forever be in your light

My path will be long

My heart had dozed its eternal slumber

Until the day we meet up again

Spirited away towards the undying heaven

The respect and admiration over a lost love as well as the longing and sadness are" heartfeltly" expressed in this piece. I could feel that sometimes our love over someone could hold us back to move on for reasons I would not know of. This beautifully sad piece could make a perfect Eulogy kabayan. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice love poem. It is like an ode to the person it is dedicated. I liked the fact that it is sad, yet it makes us feel happy as well. For the moments we share with another person are important. The memories might not faint and maybe they bring tears, but they also keep our heads up. I really liked this poem.

It is a sad love poem, but it is a very good sad love poem, which makes me happy, so ironically its a happy sad love poem.

All in all, amazing work as awlways

This is so beautiful my dearest friend... your light embraces the love within....
I can dance on your poem, a thousand boogies, but even more a real romantic Tango... It is like it pours the blood faster through the veins... Romantic you're... yes you can be! :) Nice nice work, brilliant work. Thank you.

Pax as a widow this poem touched me deeply. A beautiful piece my friend.

[An owl on the moon]

Your heart dances so vivid through each line.. and each color takes on a different hued emotion it seems as well. What a richly woven pattern you've given us... the mind alive with love... and wondering.. and wandering too. So much complexity in the beauty...

[Lonely Islander]

A beautiful love poem dear Pax. Like the other poems, it does not only talk about grief but also about what the person has learned from the other. I think this poem portrayed love in a beautiful way. Well done friend.

Sad?...Yes, and beautiful too. Pax, your heart is an open book... honest and raw words are written in the pages from you experiences, and I truly treasure that. Thank you for writing this heartfelt piece.

It sounded to me like a sad love letter to a forlorn lover where you are hanging by hope in between heaven and earth waiting to unveil your fate at the end.It sounded like you are mourning someone who passed away wishing to meet them in heaven... Embrace hope when you are grieving dear friend for we need it in this long journey in the grieving valley . We can cherish the moments and feelings for they are our own treasures... A very heartfelt write Mr. Pax and as akways I enjoyed this immensely ...Hang in there my friend...

dear mr. Sami,

I always treasured your responses on my poems, 'short-lived' is created out of the blue of my depressing situation yesterday. I really wanted to make a love-poem like my other love poems, but then it was hard when your head is full of worries of realities then i end up a sad love poem. Actually i was a little teary eye in the time when i wrote this piece for i felt the sadness of the narrator. I'm really glad you had felt it as well. Thanks I'm hanging on my hopes, and to the light my friends had given me(your one of them). Thank you very much.

your friendly neighbor,
w.Pax:(
