its shimmering visage
haunts the eddies below
peaceful
comfort lies there
in the vortex
hidden in mist
so lovely
so easy
to slip away
ease my sorrows
nothing

no one
left to hold
my heart
moonlight beckons
crimson

somewhere there's a place inside me
a place that I'm free
where footfalls echo around staircases in the night
a place in a citadel high up, detached from the town
the place my lovers gather beneath
amongst cherry blossom in the square
where we lived, where I live
the place I was me

Small feet, white shoes laces,

Broken glass, paralyze,

Moving stairs, take the fear,

People asking why,

only silence carries my cry
but I am still here for you
alone with your memory and the full moon
I'll wait right here
I'll wait for you and your home coming song
to break the silence of my cry.
life after love in lonely room
and the pain of darkness in her tears
who will be the one
who will remove the darkness from her heart.

From the beginning

I singled you out
Though you never knew it

I made you trust me
I made you love me
You thought I could do no wrong
You never knew the plans I had for you
You know them now
How could you ever forget?

I have said goodbye to so many,
does one more even matter?
The emptiness is full.
The loneliness my company.
The memories my only sight.
And yet another must go.... soon.
Call it a loss but really a gain.
Their touch warms my blood.
Their tears my nourishment.
Their memories my only sight.
Hold this love in our minds eye forever
And our memories will be our only sight.

It seemed like only yesterday
I held you in my hands
a little piece of happiness
only a father could understand.
I've been around the world
I've gone from land to land
and all these places I've been
I always held you in my hands.
you have grown into such a little man
I'm so proud to be your dad
I hope someday you remember me
and the love I held in my hands.
thou time is short but our love lives on
and I'm not around to say
that my time with you was something special
I wouldn't trade a single day.
I hope you remember me and smile
when you feel a sunny day
just remember that I'm with you in your heat
each and everyday and will always love you son,
till we meet again someday.
his whole world,
fits in his hands
a gift from heaven,…
so delicate
an empty vessel,
waiting to be filled with love
hope, and dreams
teaching all these things
will no doubt present the challenge of his life,..
a challenge he is eager to accept
love the world away,..
and give life meaning
guide the empty vessel through rough seas,..
as well as the calm
take in every smile,
every tear,..
every breath,..
cherish each laugh
each hug, and each kiss
know when to be easy going,..
and also stern and unmoving
tear down the walls of hatred,..
greed, race,.. and religion,..
one lesson at a time,…
this is his greatest gift,
his heart, and soul
he is
protector,
teacher,…
father and friend,…
is there anything better?
Peace, Love.

you both have me in tears right now
very powerful and moving
maybe being a parent allows your words to be felt that much deeper
your words sink deeply into my soul
thank you both for beautiful yet heart-wrenching poetry
so sorry for the loss of your dear friend godfather. very sad...tragic.
i know that you will be there
for the fatherless son
wrapping stories of his father's love and devotion around his heart
hugs,

Perfect little toes to come,

bath time and a little rubber duck.

I have a story perhaps I've told,
though it does not matter much,
no one listens long enough.
A story of love and friendship too,
sometimes difficult but always true.
His lifetime saved,
our lifetime spent,
two hearts we gladly gave.
I breathed his name between his song,
often as we laid.
My boy Jakey,
Sir Laddykins,
Jake-a-mon
and Jake.
An English Nobleman,
the great storm predictor,
a gentle cowardly beast.
My Wolf style dog,
in 55 shades of brown,
forever mine to keep.
The story goes,
the story stays,
a picture and a tear.
And then the love
is here with me
forever long enough.
