I am just an older country lady who has lost my husband and son in a very tragic aircraft accident in the last 3 years Just 5 months prior my brother and his son both committed suicide. Recently my Dad died of cancer. Important men in my life seem to keep dying. For me my poetry has been the only way to release the feelings inside. Whilst as poems they may not be very good it is more just an outpouring of my emotions. Any feedback on my work would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou so much to all those who have commented and rated my poetry. I value every comment made and hope that I can grow poetically as a result |
Stand right beside me my lover divine
Stand not behind me and all will be fine...
Alone so very alone.
Yet surrounded by those who truly care...
Not only has my one true love gone forever
My dearest darling son was taken too...
So sad why do I still feel so sad?
I know my boys have been torn away...
Do not lose yourself in all the grief
Our time on Earth is only brief...
What is it? Why?
What distresses you so...
Just a step further, reaching farther
No.....................I've lost it...
Here I sit and another whole year has gone.
The pain still tears my heart to pieces...
Two hearts of gold stopped beating
That second you passed away...
Crushing weight infests the gloom
Dark clouds herald impending doom...
