Charmaine Chircop Poet Free verse

Departed

He left her side
Going...   She knows not where

The last sound of footsteps
fading away


But...   He will come back

Looking through old photographs
Love letters and places

He will be back.

He will come back     to her caring arms
Her compassionate eyes
Their secret ways      and her smiling face.

He will be back

A little bit too early

A little bit too late.

Far too late 

Far too late   to unlock the door to his desired faith.

Far too late     for begging apologies


No one has ever returned from the dead.



Just  a poem :)

James A. February 18, 2021 at 5:43 AM I know, I read this when you wrote it, but I wanted to see it again. This one is full of hope, sadness, hope, and regret. It's dismal beauty paints a picture that mirrors this cold dreary day, but it touches the heart, because you know the love in the memories and the wanting. Charmaine Chircop March 15, 2021 at 9:21 AM Am glad you re-visited James...Thanks so much

Panagiota Romios March 14, 2019 at 11:48 AM Hello, Charmaine! I read your poetry over a year ago. You are the reason I joined the soup a month ago. I had no idea I could be a member. Your poetry is total beauty and magic. Thank you for being! And the beauty you share. Love, Panagiota Love, Panagiota

Lyric Man November 23, 2018 at 3:20 AM Charms, you paint pain as authentically as anyone I’ve read.. I hope that’s not pulling from personal experience. You are too lovely in every way to ever suffer such!

Sami Al-Khalili November 22, 2018 at 3:48 PM Beautiful, strong ending. "No one has ever returned from the dead". This is beautiful. Happy to read your poems again.

Vladislav Raven October 27, 2018 at 12:42 AM Hi Charmaine, a deep poem with such powerful emotions displayed. There are many words I wish I had taken the time to say to loved ones that have passed. I love the content of this little gem Charmaine. Have a wonderful Saturday. Hugs....Mike. XX

Silent One September 19, 2018 at 4:54 AM I did a similar collaboration with Judy about death, will be posted soon.. You captured the emotions deeply and emotively... Sadly when someone has gone, there are so many words left unspoken.... Great poetry Charmaine..

Lawrence Sharp September 18, 2018 at 1:04 AM A deep hurt expressed with a mournful beauty and charm.

Frank Sheehan September 17, 2018 at 1:45 PM Another gem Charmaine. It invokes an essence of the surreal. Great pen. Thanks for posting.
