Arturo Michael Poet Verse

Silently Mourning

It's been too long

I'm not going to make it

Much too long

I'm so numb I can't fake it

Will I see you again

Or hear your voice 

Calling my name


It's been too long

I've been thinking about you

Much too long

Dreaming of things we would do

Is it my fate to live

Silently mourning

The dread of a heart


It's been too long

Will I ever spread broken wings

Much too long

Even Winter must turn to Spring

I'll never feel the touch of your lips

Never will I hold you 

In the arms of a kiss


It's been too long....

Much too long...

Silently Mourning...

Andrea Dietrich October 7, 2019 at 5:59 PM the repeating effect of "It's been too long" gave this great impact. Well done, Arturo.

Quoth Theraven September 25, 2019 at 11:16 PM Arturo, Very nice write, the sadness reminds us we go on. "I always knew looking back on my tears would bring me laughter, but I never knew looking back on my laughter would make me cry." -Cat Stevens Arturo Michael September 30, 2019 at 6:12 AM An outstanding poet is the Cat...I still listen to his lyrics...

Paula Goldsmith September 24, 2019 at 10:58 AM Beautiful..... Some times a loss is never over. They say time helps. Time only moves on. The loss never moves on. May you be blessed by today........ Arturo Michael September 30, 2019 at 6:11 AM Correct...when injured permanently, you walk with a limp...it's hard to completely recover...Thanks Paula

Ann Foster September 24, 2019 at 10:30 AM I am so sad, and pray this only a write, and not a real.... If it is both, than my sadness is true... and wishfully hoping you have a better day. Hugs. Cheers and sunshine. Ann Arturo Michael September 30, 2019 at 6:09 AM Thank you Ann...Very sweet of you

Paul Callus September 20, 2019 at 12:29 PM Longing is superseded by despair and loss of hope...and worst of all, no light is visible at the end of the tunnel! Your poem brings all this to mind, Arturo. Regards // paul Arturo Michael September 21, 2019 at 11:29 AM Yeah Paul...no light at end of tunnel...or eyes cannot see...Thank you

Heidi Sands September 19, 2019 at 4:49 PM Oh Arturo, this reaches me , deeply. I can feel the sadness and longing. My heart goes out to all of this. Well done! Bless you :) Arturo Michael September 21, 2019 at 11:32 AM Thank you Heidi...Love the comment...

Panagiota Romios September 18, 2019 at 4:13 PM There is a way to get over the mourning. We can still love the other so deeply, we actually let them go. Relationships really never end as I see it. They just change form. I still love a few men and always will. But in an entirely different context. My love for them is very much alive even though we have not seen each other in years..,Panagiota aka Anne Landers? LOL Arturo Michael September 18, 2019 at 5:34 PM You speak truth... even though you parted ways...if it was love it never left you...

Ann Foster September 18, 2019 at 2:42 AM Your words are so completely sad...they are like water, draining out the spirit of the the day itself...waiting.. So very "folding and making small" until all gone... that is left...nothing... Excellent poem my friend. I am sad if this it a true right for you. Ann Arturo Michael September 18, 2019 at 5:46 AM I'm just dramatic... there's something hidden though...

Swetha Vangaveti September 16, 2019 at 5:51 AM It's so painful to live with the memories of those who are no longer with us and that pain is perfectly captured in your poem. Arturo Michael September 18, 2019 at 5:44 AM It's life...Thanks for passing Swetha...
