Marty King Poet Ode

And Ode To You By Candlelight

after a while,
i light a candle 
for you

the tears that
once were are
forever absent

moving forward
in continuum, i 
have learned to 
smile even through
the tough stuff

the root of me is 
you, and that 
cannot be forgotten
no matter the 
inevitable strain

as the frigid 
raindrops fall, i
reminisce about 
the work you did
to create good times 
out of nothing

it is then that i
put away all juvenile
behavior and man up
to bless your memory

even in eternal sleep,
you teach me in a way
that goes far beyond 
the intelligence of my 
thoughts

i guess at times i get so
into me that i forget what
is important as well as what
is necessary

it will never be the same 
without you here, but i
can at least cherish the
times that you were

whether in daylight or 
in darkness, love can
always see through

you love still radiates
in the realm of
unconditional, and that
is a quality of you that
will always live on 
within me....
