Best Separated Poems
Forgive the urgency,
but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate
Lyrics from the song, “Look After You”
by The Fray
You didn’t have to go,
you didn’t have to slam the door
Careless whispers from so-called friends
has you angry and confused
But this isn’t the way it should end
You did leave me next month’s rent,
“Don’t burn the bridge” is a smart policy
Life can be funny in a sad way ...
Just never know if you might one day
have to walk on a bridge of tears back to me
I love you so much,
and maybe I didn’t show it as well as I should have
Forgive me for that
You don’t owe me no apology,
I just want you back
Right now I’m suffering
from a broken heart attack
What did I get so upset about?
I guess because I cared so much about you,
I hated that you let your friends have a say
in what goes on between us two
It’s our relationship,
they’re not living on our time
They got their own life to live,
quit interfering in yours and mine
Come back to me please,
lets talk and straighten it all out
A separated heart is not good to have,
it leaves jagged scars
Time doesn’t make it heal right,
unless it’s a clean break ... no prison bars
My sun doesn’t rise,
until there’s an end to this lonely night
Mend my pulse whole again,
make my separated heart murmur right
Sad sounds young apart
From mother longing empty
Joy when united
Loving you is Like a River flowing into a Lake of perfection,
Cascading into the shimmering light
Loving you is like a Tsunami through the sahara,
Surviving the scorching heat and burning sight
Some days I miss you, the better half of me;
The half of my heart left with a hole until its other piece is complete
Walking around like theres a fog in my head
till the skies open up clearing a path for the Sun
I'm on my way
Loving you is what I do each and every day.
It was Sunday night,
My husband’s family created
A remarkable unresolvable lifelong scar.
The scar that changed my life.
I can never forget that day,
The day when me and my husband fought,
Like every married couples do
His relatives made the issue bigger and worse
It will remain as unforgettable moments of life
They called all their relatives ,one came after another.
They insulted and abused me.
A little decency and implementation of their education
Would have saved the relationship.
Meaningless to have head of the family,
They brought to the noticed of the local people .
Was that an act of justice, in this modern society today?
Was that their way of showing their love and care?
Was that the right place to their show their strength and unity,
They seem to forget that I was their daughter in law,
Not an enemy,
Was that their way of showing gratitude ?
For the sacrifices i made.
For nursing and serving them.
They all together, supported one another and stood in front of me
They surrounded me,
As if I caught for some crime.
Where has the respect gone?
The love for their daughter in law?
No words to express of their unbearable words.
Nothing causes me pain than the abusive words utter by his relatives.
Never felt so hurt,
Never felt so insulted and low.
I couldn’t handle it that day.
Next early morning I left the place,
as there was no love and respect.
One day they will know the value
of the tears i shed,
the pain I had undergone,
the insult i had faced,
the separation they did.
Oh! Now you and me are separated,
And I really anxiously waited
For a momentous news from your side
Innocent ones, are you happy and alright?
For a month, your chirrup I haven't heard,
Oh my friends, my sparrows, my birds!
For now so addicted are my ears,
To your melodious voice my dears
That I enjoyed when we were together;
And when I enjoyed the beauty of your fluffy feathers
And now my ears aren't getting solace;
And my eyes again want to see your cute face
Now, I realize with a sigh,
Those are just memories, my
Dears. Friends, you know food grains can't remain for long;
Come quickly and take the pigeons along
Stay you lovely faces in my little heart,
Oh have pity on my soul, my true part
Life gives separation, one day or the other,
Will I be bold enough to face another?
Silence has two sides and around me negative is there;
How I wish for the other side which is pure and fair!
Now I act like one who's gone mad,
Now my happy colours are getting fade
For now separated are me and you
I hope it'll be fulfilled, my dream so new
The issues blur when you are in the twilight zone,
When you are not married or divorced, and life is postponed.
This too shall pass, as you discover new reasons to laugh,
Because now you are in the company of the “better half.”
The Embrace
Four Arms interlocking
Enveloping bodies, five
Ten minutes,
These eyes have longed been so close
Twenty-five years,
Now they can’t let go
Bodies exchanging nonverbal pleasantries,
Distant memories
Rushes in,
Keeping the embrace solid.
No one notices
The clouds floating by,
When twilight falls,
With guarded reluctance
Their arms are relaxed,
Returning to their Nine to five,
Separated once more
By oceans deep and wide,
And hearts will long once again
For another embrace.

Though it is unacceptable
It would be respectable
Living together is inevitable
Life is but unbearable
Words bring vicious weapons
Happiness vanishes with visions
Each looks off gestures of motions
Dig and bury the instinctive passions
Silence teaches the tolerance
Closes it the departure of entrance
Hunger and anger of sentence
Punish to bind the pain of iron fence
To go back or to set aside
Destiny is of other side
Magnet repulses one side
Life‘s in itself a suicide

SEPARATED SPIRIT FROM THE MOUND OF DIRT AND CLAY---
As I walk across the silver sands, winds;
Blows throughout my daughterly brazen hair;
Whisk away seldom the sun dims, its grin;
Shining brightly those grinning light shines there;
Kicks the pebbles corner stone’s made of gold;
Harboring the renaissance of stories told;
I yet still walk through the Holy Garden;
Never forgetting, never seeing sin;
Placed in the heart of the Jesus mercies grace;
Never deny the Father’s primal space;
Caring and sharing alms of misplace;
Comforting and soothing man’s divineness;
Made up of clay and dirt covering spirit;
Departed death walks lands no one hears it…

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2019©
Ten years gone! ten long years between
Not lost on the love and care you gave,
Not lost where the path of thorns had been
A hindrance to our struggle -- deeds brave.
Do you remember how, like a barnacle
I clung to you, and how, like a baby
I cried and the tears started to trickle
Bubbles that flowed slow and steady?
I remember our past years together;
Your friendship, your words -- such fun
And those times that live in me forever
Like the light from the sun...
I continue in the light you left behind.
I have also trudged the dark alley-way
Without a lamp to gleam inside my mind
And no fur coat to keep the cold away.
And now, do come, come back to stay
To rekindle hope in my embers again;
Come fill the gap left open on that day,
That misty morning, when you left for Spain.
Once a free happy man enjoying the outdoors
Surrounded now by jail bars that don’t bend
Inmate correction to society
A life that totally went apart, and have no name but a number
A place an inmate lives and slumbers
Among the multitudes of other inmates
A Heaven’s sake
No money nor a dime
This is what you get when you commit a crime
Behind the jail cell an inmate could lose their mind
No windows showing a view
Jail time to pursue
No family wants to be bothered in contact
No fact as it is just like that
Prison is no place one should be
Take it from an inmate
No luxury to see
Attitudes high
Fights often break out
An inmate must watch their back as they move about
No decent food to eat
No changing of clothes only what the jail provides
Correction Officers look the other way in being estray
Inmate voice
Having no choice.
Separated by the sea they say, separated by the water, but that will never be true as love can’t be slaughtered!”
“Love can’t die! Love always stays alive! Love is everywhere you go, love never lies!”
“Love is always there, you can feel it even if I am not there!”
“In my heart you will be, no matter how far you are, no matter if we are even separated by the sea.”
Years rolled by, I had become a teenager. Felt that I had missed something
Searched and found it at last. Was a companion I need at that stage?
Knew that opposite poles were attracted
He made me his friend forever Unseparated like shining moon and sky. Always accompanied me like a pet dog.
Loved and took care of me deeply. Dreams were fulfilled by that loved one. Shared many things even love affairs too. Thought we wouldn't be unseparated till death
Unfortunately he met with an accident on the highway. He was no more and I lost my lovely partner
Who had driven the cart of friendship so far. Oh friend,god blessed your departed soul.
How could I have known,
How could I have seen?
I listened, but I didn't hear,
We dreamt of different dreams.
And now it seems the end is near,
And all we feel is pain.
The mask of strength has disappeared,
Empty, we remain.
Time will pass, and time will clear,
If you and I were meant to be.
No room for love when hearts have fear,
No room for dreams when you're not free.
Days will come of clear feelings,
Days of growth and understanding.
Days of sun sound so appealing,
For now, my heart for you is standing.
Separated by a star
The glittered path of youth
Desires burn when we are young
For those who seek their truth
We must be but what we are
Though shiny objects call
And roads that bend as we approach
Tell if we stand or fall
Yet as I ponder that same star
As I no longer roam
I see it also can unite
And lead us to come home
