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

i had made a sad love poem...

Reviews

[gabrielle]

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.

THis is avery sad love poem, but a hopeful one too. Life is so short...but we can learn from all experiences, and make the short life a good one.

[Annabelle Lee]

Sad, it is. But also beautiful. I have never seen a poem written so gorgeously, to tell such a devastating story, well done.

Human love, I have found, is not often happily-ever-after; it's almost always just for as long as it lasts.
Poignant and heartfelt piece, Pax.

I love the short sticking sentences in this piece...and the last few stanzas seal your ode to this person with an ever gazed eternity...very well drawn together emotional release in the relapsing dream...good piece
