Wake Up

Do not sleep, in the Mysteries of  “ LIFE “
For You may find: You have Lost Your WIFE
Imagine the devastation   : that tears Your Heart in TWO
A PAIN inflictive in a History of My “ LOVE for Y O U “ 

Do not sleep, in the Fantasies of  “ LIFE “
For in those Dreams, YOU will lose Your WIFE
Feel the cold steal blade, stabbing into a Lifeless Heart 
Seer the Flesh : with the fires of Hell, that burn a Broken Heart

Do not sleep, in the Destruction  of “ LIFE “ 
In the aftermath , when the sea stole my WIFE
When the sky was Darken, with FOREVER Grief
Will the Heaven God promised me, be my Relief

Do not sleep, in God’s Everlasting Gift of LIFE
For You would miss the Joy,  of FOREVER with Your “WIFE “
                             Eternal LIFE
                        WITHOUT a WIFE
                           Has to be Hell
                             WAKE UP !!

thanks for YOUR comment, dear Harry. no, you are a poet at heart and should always remain one. this and all your poems prove it. do not let one 'off' person lead you to believe anything else. you love so deeply, wherever your Lenore is, she is grateful to be in your heart forever. and by the way....I'm sure you are a phenomenal cook too! much love to you dear, sweet brother. love and hugs, shar xoxo
