Notes About The Poem

- Eternal Rest -

"i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
                            my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
                                             i go you go . . . "
                                                      ee Cummings


                                         I carry your memories
                                          like a piece of jewelry
                                              around my neck

                                     Worth more than diamonds,
                                             cannot be priced

                                    Thoughts never give me peace
                                              I lose the grip, 
                                    because grief has no time limit

                                           The dark sunglasses 
                                        do not dim the sunshine
                                 ~ but hides my red and teary eyes

                                Your vicinity made everything complete
                                   ~ to me, you were my whole world

                                 The storm suddenly grabs hold of me
                                  Sleep refus to touch my eyes calmly

                                             Days without you,
                                       a process in various stages
                                              and the future
                                          is an unwritten chapter

                                

                       ~ Gone ~ but never forgotten 
                                      ~ even in the bottomless darkness
