If wishes come true, I only wish for you

by Sunshine   Aug 8, 2010


How I wish I had feelings, or some words to say
maybe one memory, for fathers day
I wish amid the aching silence of the night
a dream of him turns my darkness; white

I pray wishes would crown the joy of reality
where from the dimness of the graves,
for the coldness of my days
he walks the miles for mortality

or lovingly he whispers for the grief of my ears
words of wisdom to ease my burning tears..
how I thirst a breeze of love to chill all
winter fears..
How I fail to recall one memory, that never
lived through any of my growing years

for my father who I never knew.R.I.P...

    Firstly, i'd like to say R.I.P to your father, i'm sure he regrets not knowing you and im sure he is in a better place now :)

    secondly, i absolutely loved this piece! it was so gentle, and your choice of words were lovely! I liked the flow, the rhymes, i liked it all!

    "I wish amid the aching silence of the night
    a dream of him turns my darkness; white"
    - that bit there was just beautiful!

    definitely a 5/5!!

    Aww Nana:(

    Reading this is so hard on me because I know you so well, honey.
    To never have known your father is a cruel twist of nature, because you have no one to give that kind of love to, the one you only have for a father..the one that makes you want him to be proud of you and that kind of feeling is different from the feelings you have for a mother.

    You wrote this down in such a touching way:

    or lovingly he whispers for the grief of my ears
    words of wisdom to ease my burning tears..
    how I thirst a breeze of love to chill all
    winter fears..

    ^^^

    I know this pain you speak of..I lost all my uncles due to a family- desease, they died one by one and left me only with a father that wished I was never born.how I miss my uncles who all loved me and held me tight on their lap when I was small and made all the demons dissappear.

    A poem that made me cry, sweet girl...

    * kiss and a big hug*

    5/5 Ingrid
