Notes About The Poem

My Last Farewell

I write upon a marble, so ebony black It is hard to begin my heart in tears My nib is fine, the ink golden. People must stop to see For now my life is worthless, as her life is spent By a reckless mad driver, more half drunk . As I write on marble, I think I'll kill that punk. Maybe I can find some rifle or rent A grim weapon to kill that flea. Need to be embolden Steel myself, be full of courage, face full of glares. It's the only way to be back on track.. But I know I'll not do it, her ghost will be back. I will spend my whole life in weary years The nib works fine, its style olden So beautiful and free Our story I expose and I only repent. I kneel down and pray till the sun has sunk.

I can sense the intense pain you experience, your bewilderment at the loss and your sense of indignation. But like a good Christian you decide to forgive and instead of stabbing the offender, fall on your knees and pray ! Lofty sentiments, dear Victor !

I can feel the pain in this one. I hope not your life but just a work maybe using close knowledge of someone who has gone through this event in their life. I can't imagine how painful that would be. Thanks for dropping by my page. Sara

A heartfelt write, Vic. My brother was ambushed in Texas last week and nearly die. Thank God he’s going to be okay but will take days before he can move and walk. So I know just that feeling of revenge. But I am trying to keep my emotions low and trust in the Lord to take of things... I enjoyed reading your beautiful and heartfelt poem... hugs

Quite a sad verse Victor, we all want revenge but is it the right way. Good luck in the contest Tom
