Premium MemberThe Wonders of OCD

No! Mom's numbered boxes! All night we spend
Digging through papered names Red, Other, Mend
          We find lights, but they aren't right
          missing the Blue Silver White
Santa yawns, says, “Oh man, this house again!”

Premium MemberBuried Treasure - Mystic

they say …
you cant take it with you
but you took so many little jewels
when you left -
your smile
your pure, unqualified love
your creativity and expression
your engaging mind
your encouragement, your empathy
your extraordinary patience …
but what I miss the most is
your exceedingly unlimited kindness
and … our talks -
about anything and nothing
and everything …
there was ne’er a doubt my heart was yours
and yours, of course, was mine
the truly ironic thing is
that we conversed SO much -
for many hours on end
when not a single, solitary word …
was ever needed.
oh, how I miss you, Mom
like a clown …
misses tears.

A empty page awaits the perfect words I hope will convey what I feel when looking back at the lifetime we shared.  

But I am at a loss for words, for none hold the weight that my heart holds today, now out of sync with the world I once knew, missing beat after beat without you.

Premium MemberThinking Of You

Thinking of you in everything I do; gratefully, deep thoughts of you live on. You are so missed- yet, promise it is true- until my days expire and I am gone, live memories remain while I pursue exclaiming, “Mom, I love you still,” each dawn.

Premium Member- Dusty Box of Memories -

    My dusty box of memories
    can be compared to
            Aladdins wonderful lamp
    Yellow brass with a shiny
    and elegant appearance
    Everyone has a genie
    that resides in the subconscious

    When the lid is opened
    it smells of jasmine and rose petals
    feminine and unique
    Feeds my heart with
                    the scent she loved
   

    It did not belong to a royal person
    but my dear mother
    She was a woman who spent time
    finding the right outfit
    with different bijouterie
    A wide range of jewelry, bracelets,
    earrings, necklaces and rings

    As an aged photo album -
                I let the jewelry
    run through my fingers as a rosary
    Dear memories flow

Wanted to write you a poem for mother's day
yet with all the words I can say
nothing seems to be good enough
to express the love we had for you
each time I write the tears flow
miss you like crazy mom
so make this short and sweet
mom miss you each and every day
love you more than ever
more than words can ever say
Happy heavenly mother's day.


Happy Mother's Day to all mom's
and grandmother's past and present.

Premium MemberMissing Mom

Precious moments are gone
tears of a crying soul that long
here today gone tomorrow
in the heart sorrow
reaching and touching your hand
a heart that felt broken
thousands of words left unspoken
a voice no longer heard
here today gone tomorrow
all that is left is sorrow.

Premium MemberMy Inspiration, My Mom

Back fifty-three long years ago, she left; my Mom- at the young age of fifty-five. Yet, she is always with me every day; my heart and memories keep her alive. Three growing grandkids she embraced and loved; her gentle heart they shared for just a while. Then, years flew by- two generations grew- to crown her Great-Great Grandma with a smile. I feel her presence in the things I do, as part of her still grows and lives in me; and everything she taught me carries on, as I, a Great-Grandmother now, can see. In clouds, I often see her gentle face and know that she's with God, and not her grave- for she's my Saint in Heaven- there to be the inspiration I will always crave.

Premium MemberAbout An Orphan

In comfort next to you mother,
fifteen Christmas I spent with you,
in time’s orchards fruits picked together,
those fruits now bitter without you!
Tears that run down my pillow,
are tears that will not dry,
With years hope heart will mellow,
I shall try not to cry!

Premium MemberHappy Birthday, Mom





My Mother is way long gone....
But I wish I could hug her and sing her a song.

As her birthday this year is on Mother's Day.
And we cannot blow out the candles this May!

I have written about Irene before.
A most fitting name for a woman who wanted peace 
forevermore.

She lives is God's golden city, 
And, knowing her, making it extraordinarily pretty.

Have a room ready for me, Mom, when I come home.
So that on the stars and Milky Way, we shall forever roam.


Your daughter...Panagiota

Missing Flowers

There are no blooms on the table. 
Nothing in the vase by the window. 
Empty water, 
in the one near the door. 

Outside in the garden...
Nothing. 

The cheer is gone from my office. 
The joy is absent from my rooms.
The kitchen...
no reason to bake. 
The garden no cause to sow. 
Remnants lie on the table, 
quilts unmade, 
letters unwritten.
The sweetness gone, 
from the tea.  

You never call. 
I am not important. 

That is okay. 
I am lifted knowing...
"He" is with you. 

All that has passed, 
from the first I saw your face, 
to the last I savored your visage, 
has been a humble...
blessing in my life. 

Thank you Lord, 
for my kid.

Soon creates our journey of parts... A barren soul ones whole touch of grace ones safe walk through time ones fine A tired soul ones hold touch of face ones grace looking glass ones past A mind made to wander ones years made to ponder The days are upon us ones days remembered a wonder Hours of peace passes by ones essence put asunder Now commences our journey of hearts... 2019 September 13

Premium MemberGood Morning Mom

It's been 21 years since you went away
And I have missed you dearly every day

Never one more gentler, kinder, sweeter
Most supportive and ever understanding

Your ears were constantly opened to others
Your big heart was filled with love so genuine                                              

I'm thinking about and missing you this Spring morning
You were always encouraging and believing in me

I always felt your love reaching out
And in your eyes, I saw no doubt

Premium MemberWriting With Weeping Words


These words of sadness sleep inside my heart
    and they lie dormant for a while until
my mind awakens them with thoughts of you;
   the years we've missed together, dearest Mom.

So young you were that day you left, and I
   had not a chance to give you my last kiss
and thank you for our years together spent:
  the loving ways that you passed on to me.

I write this poem too, with thankful thoughts.
   The years went by, but you still live in me.
These words of sadness sleep inside my heart,
   but all you taught remains my guiding light.

I write to you, my thoughts, with weeping words
   then tuck them in my heart to sleep again.
