Help me
Tuck you in
In one part
of my heart
And let the rest function normally
Like a new born baby.
Pacify its beating
Like before
We fell too deep.
Show me how to keep
the pains of remembering
isolated,
Get through the blur
of a distant gaze
So when I think
Of both
The sad and the happy
I can only feel
The warmth
And glow.
I need to know
How to stop counting the hours
Or the days
Between us.
Let the seasons pass
Serenely
Allowing the sun to rule
And the moon to shadow,
The earth to numb
And the wind to dance
Carrying my scent
Away
to where you are.
Let me go far
So that our lives
can lead their own ways
Fully
Freely
But stay with me
Inside me
And in this
Same intersection
When we meet again
There will be no denying
the frantic heartbeat
The familiar afterglow
That old story.
And time
Is one thing to smile about.

This poem builds my energy. sometimes I used to ask myself how much am I in tune with my life. After a big recollection of all falls and ups, I would end up with a sigh of relief saying 'I have given my 100% in whatever I had done'. Just a fortnight ago I miscarried and I was 6 months along. When doctor told me that my little angel was no more, my heart spoke some of the same lines you have said in here. ''I gave a comfortable womb life to you my dear little baby boy, but why?'' It was the most powerful bond of all, but lost suddenly one fine morning.
'' Fully
Freely
But stay with me
Inside me
And in this
Same intersection
When we meet again ''
I can't meet my son again, still that is not the end. It's a beginning of new life. And time is the one thing to smile about. Something better is waiting for us in the future.
Thanks Lynne.

This poem reminded of a guy I fell madly inlove with a long time ago. We were an item and everyone thought we were going to get married including ourselves. Then I got crazy and broke up with him which was the dumbest thing I've ever done. We still see each other and the flame is still there but too much pain and time has passed for us to make a go of it again. So we have moved on with our lives. However, there is nothing we wouldn't do for each other. The spark is still there and will always be there. Things happen for a reason; we just haven't figured this one out yet. I read the book you referred to in your notes and loved it as I do this poem. I don't know if what was given to me from your poem was what you intended but it is such a beautiful memory that I do not care. I love what your poem evoked within me. I will always care for that guy. And I believe he will always care for me. Your poem touched me deeply. Good write. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Thanks Birdie,
your comment is the nearest to what this poem is all about. in fact, that situation you cited (esp. on the spark still there despite moving on) should be the end result of this struggle, and sadly, i am still struggling. I call it a struggle coz it is never the easiest situation to be. sometimes i thought I am already done with my journey, but will later find out, that I am not, totally, yet.... But I try...I try so hard....
poem after poem, i'm getting more convinced, we both do have some stuff to talk about
see you around here.
Lynne
