Notes About The Poem

Love and Woe

I have a cassette,
         a video recording of my mom and dad;
      on it are images and voices I cannot forget,
         it gives me goosebumps and makes me sad.
  You see my parents are laughing and talking,
  and each time I watch it I am left rocking;
     my reaction is great love and grief shocking,
              and I am in a cold sweat.

              They passed years ago,
         but to hear my mom's voice is delight;
      and to watch them alive is love and woe,
         I flutter before the sword plunges with might.
  Deep into my broken heart I feel the pain again,
  grief and joy falls over my flesh like rain;
     and I wilt from this sweet agony stain,
               where my love will always go.
