Long Jaime Poems

Ashes of Grief

“Grief is just love with no place to go”
                                                   quote from: Jaime Andersen



                                       






                            

                                        




                                             Here
                                            Among
                                         The Ashes
                                       A pewter urn
                               Holds sweet memories.
                                Softly a candle glows,
                           I can feel your gentle touch,
                  Through the darkness, your eyes smiling.
                        For a moment, you are beside me,
                Yearning for one more day of your embraces.
                                           ~~~
               “Grief”, I’ve heard, “Is love with no place to go”
                          It leaves a deep hollow in the heart;


                           Sacred now, are the memories 
                             That soften the ache of loss.
                                 Reeling, lost in images, 
                                 Quiet nights of dreams,
                                      Until the dawn,
                                      Casts her light
                                            On life
                                            Death
