In the words of Karl Marx "Last words are for fools who haven't said enough!"
We had lived a life of love and everyday
said more than words can say.
When it was time to say goodbye,
my heart I handed you with a just a sigh.

Let me hear your love song
Whilst in silence I was long
Let me taste your melody
Like sweet berries on my tongue
Let me hear your love song
Slide your bow across the strings
Move to the wave of my arms
Declare your love song to me
Open wide the pores of my heart
Like baby birds awaiting treats
Fill me with your aching music
With your rapid rhythm beats
Over stones the rising rapture
Of ocean waves rolling through
Frantic climax a memory after
This sweet love song to me, from you.
Late July, the clouds billow waiting the afternoon rain
This summer although just is not the same
The seasons of my life have in a moment been changed
I see you clearly in the reflections of the past
I'm afraid now hoping the reflection will last
The tides of July have changed my life
"I must carry on" you explained to me
"One foot in front of the other, just breathe"
These words in my heart, I'll shall keep
A flame illuminates the dark, it is you that brightens my soul
A flame that will burn into my days' of old
You graced me with love I cannot explain
All the days' of my life your love shall remain
Can I handle the seasons of my life, I will try
Every beat of my heart is for you, I now know why
Our hearts are entwined, for there never is a goodbye...
I have learned in the reclining chair,
while the dentist mined deep veins of decay,
how to transfer pain.
The needled anodyne of novocaine
is inadequate to allay
the harrowing ache he engenders there.
But not even by bending fingers until they pop
or stabbing nails into the tenderest flesh
can I get the dedicated ache to stop.
Nor did my visit to another woman
after the last set when her shift was done
soothe the bruises on my heart
that blossomed when you stole the sun.
A day of somber remembrance
My beloved father passed away
On this day, a lucky man
Peacefully, in his sleep
Without fear or pain
With dreams fulfilled
I wish I'll be as lucky
Rest in peace, Dad
I'll always love you..

THE HANDS ARE GONE,
THAT CRADLED ME,
TURNED THE COVERS ON MY BED,
HANDS THAT HELPED ME BOW MY HEAD,
KNEADED A SUPPER OF MILK AND BREAD,
BATHED MY SKIN WITH LOVE AND HOPE,
KNITTED A HOME,
WITH NEEDLES OF WARMTH,
SHE,
AND HIM,
AND THEIR GENTLE HANDS,
ARE LONG GONE,
BUT A LOVING TOUCH,
AND LESSONS LEARNED,
FOREVER,
IN A MEMORY,
LIVES ON.

The laughter, cheerfulness and playfulness,
I miss them all.
The smiles, tenderness and that hot shapely body,
I miss them all.
The time spent, emotions shared and experiences created,
I miss them all.
The wildness, adventures and escapades well enjoyed,
I miss them all.
Even the angry, disappointing and ugly moments we faced,
I still miss them all.
My bones scream and my blood worry about this torturing absence.
The hairs of my skin lose their comfort right from the moment
your body spray took a leave.
Everything beautiful is wasting
under the snub of memory’s sadness
and not even the gods can paint
the skies of my world blue again
until we are re-united, never to part anymore.
