Your Love Wouldn'T Cease To Rain

Mother
The best of all my words 
I love calling you

Past were those so many years 
when the petals of my heart would  blossom
as your voice, the sweetest of music would flow
the youth of my soul would cease to grow.

Gone were those so sweet times
when you, mother, in my world would reign
as your Love wouldn’t cease to rain
and the thirst of my soul wouldn’t remain.

Mother
The finest of all my words 
I love calling you

I once confided into my words a promise
I would conceal your warmth in my very abyss
I would ever keep your candlelight aglow
and have my bereaved heart lay down its woe
the grief of my soul, I’ll keep my word
and into oblivion, I’ll try to throw.

In vain, I tell you mother
the pain of your loss in my heart couldn’t wane
my words on your blessings are overflowing and plain
the bond we shared is running in my vein
the love I had from you, burning to regain.

Mother
The sweetest of all my words 
I love calling you.

Hi Besma! What a sweet poem for a dear mother. I'm sure she would be so pleased and proud of you. I know the pain of losing a mother you've been very close to and I know it is hard but I bet she's an angel now and probably guarding your every step. Congratulations on POTD dear poet.

Dearest Besma, how deeply you move my being with your tender plea calling out to your beloved Mother. I adore the refrains which change slightly with each repetition. The poignancy builds in your soulful poem in such a beautiful way. How sweet is the love experienced between a devoted mother and daughter.. and that sweet love and its heartache felt when your Mother is gone never wanes, how can it when 'the bond we shared is running in my vein / the love I had from you, burning to regain.' Your brilliant and impassioned poem, so pure with wistful emotion, brings tears to your ardent reader's eyes. Congratulations with your well-deserved recognition with POTD honors, my dear soul sister. Warmest wishes, love and hugs.. ~Susan

I wanted to share what I feel with ardent readers of a high level of sensitivity and beauty.. you are, dearest Susan, my avid reader I look up to for your passionate heart.. your sharp mind.. your poetic soul.. I do read up to you, climbing the ladder of humanity, quality, depth and beauty.. Having a soul sister, a poetess who feels every single pulse of my feelings.. who resonates with every humble word I breathe.. whose heart before eyes respond to pain and glee.. I am the one blessed! I would like to thank you my dear Susan for being on my path of poetry and a beauty in my heart..

Hello, Besma: My mother came from Italy many years ago and in her wisdom taught me how to be humble when it really counted and to be steadfast as well. Your poem epitomizes her!

When it comes to describing a love for one's Mother, the most important person in our lives, words are never adequate enough. Though Besma your beautiful words depict 'All and More'. Of all the types of love, a mother’s is the strongest. The love between mother and child arises instantly, as a bond uniting two bodies and souls. A mother’s love is unconditional and eternal.Brilliant flowing poetry as always my sweet friend. You are indeed your mothers daughter. Her beauty shines forever in you. A fave for me this lovely tribute....Maria Hugs

Always a great pleasure to read your fine and insightful words.. words filled with Life and Love.. always grateful, Love and hugs.
