Poems Stay With Me

Poems Stay With Me Who life is this anyway, Is she mistaking grief for depression? as the saying goes..... Grief is an opportunity to develop authentic belief Twenty years ago, I lost him, I grief for him: When he abandons us, should I have filed grievance? those days it was so hard for me to hold her hands And pretend I do care, about his passing, Why must I be force to see things her way? I love him, he love his mistress more, he walk away, Our memories of him is not the same, I see unloved, she sees the longing for his: Poems stay with me, after he left, Remembrance is not the same Poems stay with me after he walk out the door: Few days after her birth, I cut my foot on a cardboard The dark scar, never faded, It stayed with me: longer than his love, My tattoo of betrayal of all his lies: Every problem in world today cannot be solved, Each and every one of us at some point Had that bad taste in our mouth.. Here I am this morning thinking of Christmas, And the last time I had that taste of sadness It can drag ones down, into the darkest places: A poem will stay with me, after them gone Our memories are not the same, A poem will stay with me after them gone And words will be sprinkle, on pages of happiness I divided my tears into section With each drop, with each snuffle With each tissue: I thread I remembering the good times we shared February third was your passing today: it’s my revelation: *Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man. you. Colossians 3:16
