I See You In the Earth, Wind and Sky

I See You In The Earth, Wind And Sky Darling, cut my throat if you think it best these past days and nights I never rest I rummage in the photo albums you gave for a picture to lay on your lonely grave At night I sit in bed and endlessly stare looking for you my darling everywhere Sweetheart, I kept you favorite perfume I spray it everywhere in our bedroom Your pillow I hold so close all night futile is my miserable longing plight I know death has you in its hidden cage some nights I beat the walls in my rage I see you in the earth, wind and sky your lost beauty makes me weep and cry Why, why did you take all those pills our life was great, you needed no thrills That tragic morn you failed to ever wake I stupidly tried my own sad life to take Darling, you would have been twenty-three I was there for you but you were not for me Curse the pain you have cast into my heart no more life or family we promised to start I sleep each night in your old antique bed missing you, hugging your soft pillow instead Darling, this letter will be my very last write pistol is loaded, I'll drop the hammer tonight.

Very dramatic poem, Robert. But so full of realism that it grabs hold of the reader and forces us to look at this gripping poem. Bravo! Well done, excellent poetry. So dynamic and engrossing. Love this poem. Love and peace to you.

Fantastic! Passionate and sad. Shades of Romeo and Juliet. I would worry but this is obviously fiction; you have your wife and family.

Thank you my good friend. Yes shades of Romeo and Juliet but was written with somebody else in mind from far in my past. Imagination based upon real life events, except she did not die.
