The Day

Tiny droplets of water falling from the heavens in 
perfect unity with the somber demeanor brought 
upon me in the presence of death as my 
mother now sleeps and her
soul is free.

So sad, the image of my sister and I through the
 tearful eyes of a stranger that haunts
me unrelentlessly, raping me of my inner child.

A stone full of sorrow that rest anchored in the 
mundane soil marking her final resting place, 
bringing misery with a stabbing pain 
to the heart as I weep inconsolably at the 
engraved letters.

Hanging onto faded memories as the mind 
drowns the pain with flooding 
emotions consumed 
in fire as I target thee Creator as the 
source of this prolonged 
agony.

Dejected and spiritless, I lie numb and emotionless 
with shards of my shattered hart puncturing 
my soul, fatally crippling the lucidity of my
 innocent mind.

Thoughts at first in the morning 
sun of an undisturbed world, were a false 
hope lies, as the truth to my reality rushes into 
the body, leaving me paralyzed to move as my
life crumbles and 
falls.

A child scarred for life, with daily suffering 
while I mourn my mother’s death, and yearn
 for the security of a warming touch of her hand 
gentle caressing my tender cheek.

I love my mother, as she is my guardian 
angel saving me from countless bouts with Death, 
for I’m able to breath today and keep her
 close to my hart.

“I miss you mommy”
