In remembrance of my late bestfriend, that resides now in the highest garden of the almighty.

sometimes i fear time will veil the memories of us, so I write about us... 

 

the ivory sun is the harbinger of rain and tears, awakening the sleeping streaks of gold and sage, to rise and rage in sakura s i l e n c e, as the sound of d r i z z l i n g diamonds reminds me to reminisce, how you and I danced to the blissful beats of electro-pop, oblivious to the fluorescent fogs blinding the morning stars, singing in contrasting cadence, the chorus of youth, where innocence plays hide and seek with the demons hiding in the corners of fragile conscience. sometimes I fear the seconds, crawling in slow motion, too afraid to let go of the grief nestling in my heart as a poetic memento of how I’ve known the synonyms of trust and tranquility, amidst the childhood tremors that tangled my inner peace into knots of dreariness. tonight I rejoice~ raising a rose-tinted glass of moonbeams to celebrate another sunflower dawn, adorned with mellifluous memoirs of us, a friendship woven into the spine of galactic supernovae, where your laughter reverberates across the sizzling skyline, like music to the wind and waves of angels, residing with hyacinth halcyons, engrossed in the picturesque presence of your pristine utopia, where love still flows like a river untouched by the seasonal storms. so, in this w o r l d of woes and throes, let me be an echo of your ink and blood, for I still breathe the petrichor, petals of p e a c e thriving in the meadows of mourning, as your tender name is the crystalline cue urging my muse to praise the mystical musk of graceful magnolia that lingers in starry stillness...

Grief is one thing that grips us strongly. we are left with questions unanswered and feelings lingering. The people we love become a stranger thought and we are bound to stick to photographs and memories, hoping they don't fade while we try to live for two. Because in the end they wouldn't want us to be on pause mourning them but I'm certain they pray we do not forget them.

IE, you clearly show the fondness you have for your friend. While the sadness cannot go away, you do provide a celebration of your time together and that gives me a tearful smile. It's always a pleasure to read something like this about someone who brought joy to your life. Really something wonderful to share.

I can relate to this poem as I lost my sweet, dearest wife. Death is not final as I believe it is a passage from one side to another. Still your poem is a fine tribute to a lost friend, written in your fine style.

This is more than beautiful.... Simply lovely. I can sense the depth of adoration you still keep for your late friend who has been once the be all and end all of your life. I can sense the surging emotions of pining in your heart "where love still flows like a river untouched by the seasonal storms." The deep ache you feel in your heart as he is away on another plane beyond your reach is deeply felt all through your poem. Into your "sakura silence", his memories come as "the sound of drizzling diamonds". I sup on the sweetness of your honeyed phrases and metaphors, dear talented friend. Into my FAVE.

I have heard stories about your friend and we never really get over those we have lost at a young age.. They say we never get friends like we did in childhood... Love how you opened with ivory sun, great imagery from the start, showing a fragile frame of mind.. Your whole poem is a vivid reflection on memory, loss, and the passage of time and something, I believe many will relate to.. as always your words and metaphor are poignant and beautifully crafted exploring loss and grief..

I have lost my mom and dad, four grandparents, great aunts and uncles, friends, teachers and more. I wish I could pay tribute to them as you have with your loving friend you lost. Time goes on and we are all eventually captured by the daunting end. I love your poetry. You have such a warm heart.

Dearest Ink, Your poetry is an outstanding tribute that explores the delicate interplay of memory, loss, and triumph within friendship and love. It centers on prior sensations of joy and rapport, comparing them with feelings of loss and grief. Your artwork creates a sense of nostalgia, reflecting the appeal of memory while admitting the agony of loss. The topic also includes parts of nature, mental anguish, and the eternal links of bonding, implying that love and connection may bring comfort even in the face of sadness. The poem is full of vivid imagery, using sensory details to elicit emotions and create a powerful visual scene. Phrases such as "drizzling diamonds," "rose-tinted glass," and "sakura silence" evoke the reader's senses. With my warmest wishes, I give you hugs and light.

Beautiful tribute Ink - I recall you have written to honour this friends life and your friendship previously. The line "friendship woven into the spine of galactic supernovae" demonstrates the strength and impact your friendship still has.
