Devante`s Weave..with Love

A meeting of destiny’s chance
A melding of lost souls
Slow and unsure you move on
With the fragile newness of  fouls

Touch and pull back afraid to feel
Reaching silently beyond the pain
He saw only what he had to loose
Leaving you to show what was to gain

Words of hope in the night
Became more than saving grace
How could you ever have known
A fight against time you would race

The unforgiving clock began to tick
Louder with each passing day
The wick of death’s candle lit
Coming to take him away

You gave the love he needed most
With each show of gentle heart
In turn love and forgiveness bestowed
Each moment a sweet work of art

He showed you how to love
And then how to let go
An ultimate gift he requested of you
Reaching to a poet’s heart you did show

You allowed him to walk on
Back to the angels he flew
Trying desperately to keep
Promises that were begged of you

Through him you rained sweetness
Drenched with pain and ache
Your words no longer your own
A new form together they take

Giving wings to his spirit and soul
Upon your heart his fingerprints I see
From your lips I hear his voice
~Butterflies are meant to be free~

Janet Marie...I love you and through you I love him...it's time for him to be free so he can come home to you...watch him fly and smile, because baby, you know he is watching.  Of all the lessons he taught you...I thank him most for unconditional love...because you shared it with me, he is so proud of you...I know this...and you know why~

Gone

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
cuz there's a little bit of something in me In everything in you

~It's time to set the Butterfly free....time for him to come Home...It's time to celebrate~

BDC, a beautiful poem, for two beautiful souls.

In the morning I am a recluse,lost in memory,
ideal situations and convulsions... They built pop mart for Bono
so he could gaze out across the bay"

Holly, this is just like you to make our mutual "MOTH" feel the special bond that you have with her and I know that she enjoys the fact that you can share in the celebration with her of him by knowing and loving him through her.  You my friend have a true heart of the butterfly angel that has been bestowed upon you and you share it so wonderfully.  I know that you know how she is touched by this and that makes the whole world brighter.

==============================

needed to read this one...
some nights... the missing him is just too much....
miss your poetry around here girlie girl
love you H.

Well tomorrow holds only mystery
And who's to say what might be
But in you I found a love so strong
The sun and the moon looked on in jealousy

He showed you how to love
And then how to let go
An ultimate gift he requested of you
Reaching to a poet’s heart you did show

That was sure the truth!

I have been reading all her poems during this time, and no one can write such density of living love as she did for her butterfly.

Lovely gift and lovely poem.
