In Memory of my Love
Love, to love. What? Who?
I want to do it, and no dream
In realized life, the bird flies
Flies with my heart in the sky
Her heart took the life of love
She just flies far! Be damned!
A lightning strike killed her
A colored feather fell on me
From the sky, my love, I keep it
This poem was written for you
To The Memory of Us, Our Love

My Nonna lived to age eighty-six.
I still remember her salt and pepper
hair, so long- but wound up in a bun.
From Italy, she settled in New York,
became a seamstress and as such-
it was she who taught me how to sew.
Dear Nonna did outlive her only son,
who she lost to World War II.
And- she outlived my Mom, who
succumbed to cancer at age fifty-five.
To lose two children, way too young-
a double tragedy for her, it was.
And so, we bonded closer after that.
I still remember her loving arms
around me, soft but very strong,
and the security I always felt within.
I so much miss her still today-
my loving, caring, sweet, Nonna.

In memory of you and all the beauty I behold.
I will listen to the laughter's and discern which one was yours
I would play the music that I know you would wish to hear
And dance on the same footsteps wearing your shoes
As I float dancing with you just one more time
And when we are done, I will hold your hand
Pull you towards me one more time
And see forever in your eyes
And when tomorrow comes
And it's my turn to dance again with you,
I will flow you to the Milky Way
Where all the stars will look upon us
With coruscation envy

Stillness greeted my gaze
You always lifted that haze
You always knew when I was blue
I miss you, I miss your smile,
The tickle was my cue
to laugh awhile with you
You always taught me to be kind
You were my hero, my first love
And I knew, come what may
You would guide and protect me
My wings are open I’m in flight
I know you have me covered in your sight
I will always follow your guiding light
The things unspoken meant a lot
That guiding hand that indulgent gaze
Took me through life’s maze
And now I stand with my son in hand
Teaching him all the things
you taught me to do
Dad oh my Dad I miss and love you.
One More Cuppa Tea
to the unknowing
the cup is empty,
slightly stained,
laced with miniscule
cracks. It has a glossy
sheen., polished
by life’s luster,
buffed and buffeted
by its burdens,
distilling Orange Pekoe
fortunes, reflecting
the passage of time
in the eyes of
the tea leaf readers.
she sits, this cup,
this reservoir
of moments,
symbol of
a simpler time,
the balm of a warm cup
in loving hands
shared across a table,
across a generation,
across the great divide
of age.
Oh, to see it full again,
feel its amber warmth,
inhale its steaming secrets,
nuzzle each endless moment.

*Lucilla Carillo, a great lady with pure heart and soul, an amiable human being, a true believer, a wise person and a personal good friend. I was informed that
she passed away on 27th September 2014.
This “Haiku” of mine is written in her honor, as the smallest of tributes!
Lucilla, you will be missed by all your friends at Poetrysoup and
very much by me!
We love you!

In the arms of an angel
No words could be more fitting
I raise my voice in loving tribute
To Ken with your permitting
A celebration of this loving soul
Such a kind and gentle man
Always upbeat, ready with a smile
As each new day began
In the arms of an angel
Looking from above with a smile
Always ready with a kindly word
In spite of all life's trials
Dear, dear, sweet Marguerite
The love of Ken's existence
Will journey forward hand in hand
Together still, though distant
So everyone's here to celebrate
This special bond he possessed
With each and every one of us
As a friend, he was the best
May he forever rest in peace.
