    • is looking for an outlet for my feelings and thoughts. If I make a few friends along the way GREAT!

    What once was ...shall no longer be
       One moment we're wrapped in each others arms,
        next your no longer here with me.
        I'll no longer feel your warm embrace nor laugh at
         your childish charms.
        No longer will the days be filled with our family's laughter,
        but rather the sound of our daughters'crying out to you in
         the hereafter.
        Everyone who knew you well aches from the emptiness of your
        absence.
        The pain cuts deep during the holidays when we long for your
         humorous essence.
        Your smile, your laughter and witty remarks...
         are the the things that help me when I'm in the dark.
        At the end of each day is when I find it the hardest,
         cause I know I'll be alone and no longer have your love to aid
          me when I'm weakest.
         Our family no longer smiles as frequently,
          What once was ...shall no longer be.

    You can feel the anguish in the words of the poet. Loss is forever but life must go on.

    You have the unenviable task of chosing to flirt with life or embrace death for awhile longer. The sooner you can flirt again, the more likely you will be to capture another soul mate type. From your work, one cannot sense the scope of your grief cycle. Take your time, but promise yourself to replace despair with new hope. Hope always seems to attract more success than grief. I'll be thinking of your challenge with prayer thoughts of creative energy for you. It's time to remake your life.

    I thank for your kind words and words of encouragement. I'm a fairly optimistic person, it's just at times when I'm all alone(no family near), I tend to reflect and rather than hold in my pain I write it down. I find it much easier to deal with and move on. I'm also struggling with an auto immune disease and when it flares up it's kind of hard to deal with alone. I have a grandchild whom I have guardianship of, and he is allot of what helps me keep going and keep faith. Thank you for taking the time to read my poem. I hope you can find time to read others I've posted. I hope you will like them even more. I wish you well with your future endeavors. Kyma63

    So sad and powerful. You were able to generate a lot of emotion with so few words. This must have been a special man. Thank you for sharing this work.

    I'm glad that you liked it, and that you were able to feel what I was trying to convey to others. He was my true love, beloved spouse and father of my children. We were married 17 yrs when he passed in his sleep. He was my soulmate. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement and kind comments. I wish you well with your future endeavors. kyma63

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
