Premium MemberMissing my son

No one tells you how much your life will change
when a loved one is ripped from your life suddenly
It begins as surviving minute by minute, 
then changes to day by day, just learning to exist
with a hole in your life that used to be alive and vibrant
but there are times that stop you in your tracks,
when memories hit and flood you with feelings
that overwhelm you, and you have to handle them
so that you can function and you wish for the numbness
that you experienced right after he died
Numbness is no way to live, but overwhelm isn't
much fun either, and it comes often these days
When someone asks me what is wrong, the answer
is "I Miss My Son" and life is very hard without him!


Premium Membermissing friend poster

missing person poster
a familiar face
Steven stares at it
this child has been missing for over thirty years

Steven only saw one photo of himself at this age
He remembers staring at it when he was three
He was held by someone, but her face had been taken out
He only saw her arm

His father got rid of that photograph
today Steven is staring at this missing person poster
it says this child was taken from his mother when he was three
He does not remember a mother

This poster makes him nervous
He tries to put it out of his mind
but it keeps calling out to him in his sleep

Premium MemberThe Darkness Burns

When something is missing, when someone is gone, there is no light
                     It’s not just the absence of sunshine, not just a starlight deceit
It’s more like the aching of pain and sensation, the darkness burns

Premium MemberMissing The Good Thing

The good thing is I am never going to be crying,
But the truth is there is still this deep heartaching longing
For that very something with that very someone I am missing.

Premium MemberMissing Heart

Missing heart

Missing life,  missing situations, missing lady
Following my dream. Follows me. Love of love

There is no heart in my chest. An empty, dead body
Vultures and hungry ravens had dinner in my body

No heart, no love. No. No. And no. Without a mermaid
Missing love, my heart eaten by mermaid sharks in the ocean

Destroyed heart
Someone looked
Looked like one love

Just one love
Missing heart


Premium MemberMissing You



Our life will go on without you, but nothing will be the same.
We will have to hide the pain and heartaches, when someone speaks your name.
Sad will be our hearts that love you, and in silence, our tears will begin to fall.
Living our lives without you will be the hardest part of it all.
You did so many things for us, and your heart was always kind and true.
And when we needed you the most, we could always count on you.
The special years with you will not return when we gather all together.
But with the love of you within our hearts, you will walk with us forever.

Premium MemberThink of you

All I can do now is think of you
Every breath I take without you, is killing me
I need you, standing by my side
It’s the only truth I’ve ever had with someone
You’re my only one
I can’t take it anymore 
Life without you
Is killing me

I’ve lost my spirit to keep on going
I need you by my side
I’m going through hell
I’m losing my mind without you
I don’t want to step into heaven without you

Premium MemberBroken Down Ride

Broken hearts long to heal
To once again feel
And live once more
To soar
For that blood to roar
To feel wanted
Not haunted 
Never feel alone
As love is grown
Sown
Love emotions 
awoken
To hear words of love spoken
Someone near
Whispering loving words in my ear
To ease my fear
When strength is hard to come by
Hold me when I cry
Help me to reach the sky
To be able to see
Who I really be
The man inside
This broken down ride

Premium MemberFloral Tribute

I caught the bride’s floral bouquet Bitter tears formed in my blue eyes As papa can’t give me away. I caught the bride’s floral bouquet Papa will miss my wedding day It hurts so much when someone dies. I caught the bride’s floral bouquet Bitter tears formed in my blue eyes

Premium MemberProjections of the Past

I now see every perspective of how it was.
But there is no denying I learned long before
How to love someone despite both of our flaws.
Lessons learned thru all that made me "feel" more.

The past becomes cosmic echoes of the futures
In which we were always meant to meet each other.
The present shows how I am crafting the sutures
Of an embroidered scroll of stories of times we were together.

There are characters who I project onto, what we used to be,
Seemingly silly shows soothing my soul,
Showing me how to move on gracefully,
But sometimes I find myself feeling so unwhole.

Then suddenly there were those vivid dreams, 
In which I found myself deeply longing 
For that someone who I know is more than what he seems,
The one who always leaves me wanting.

Premium MemberMissing a Gracious Poet

Heaven gained a saint.
Earth now mourns.

A family grieves.
Someone is missing.

I feel the void and
The absence of

A puzzle piece,
A masterpiece,

A person of peace,
most kind and poised.

We never met,
Nor will we in this life.

I was touched by her spirit,
And it was warm.

I was delighted to have
Commented on some of her poetry.

I was honored that she
Commented on some of my work.

I felt a bond and a connection
In the way she spoke of 'family life'.

Brought together by the Poetry Soup family;
I am moved by her demise.

She was a pearl of great price.
A treasured mortal has left this planet.

Premium MemberSomething Is Missing

Sometimes
Something is missing
One feels like singing
One feels like laughing
One feels like yelling.

At times
Something is not right
It’s unnecessary to fight
It’s better to carefully write
About it day and night.

Sometimes
One wonders
At times
One ponders
Like a genius mime.

Somewhere to go
Someone to see waiting
Something to say...why

Sands of time dry tears
Sigh of desert wind 
Sweeps away face...where

Premium Member-I Want Them Back

As I age the more  I reflect
On the years gone by
About the ones I loved and lost
Feeling both happy and sad ….I cry!

I know that’s the cycle of life
We all have to move on
But I just want them back
It’s not as good here with them gone!

It doesn’t seem fair to have to experience such loss
It fact it’s quite cruel and unkind
When someone you love is just taken away
And you are  left behind

I know that it is life 
That is how it needs to be
But I still want them back
To feel whole again….completely!

Premium MemberMissing Peace

Your broken pieces
they could show someone the light;
That darkness you wear 
the constant war inside your head?
Might be someone’s missing peace.
