Hello angel of my tears
ephemeral
my sylph endeared
little blonde angelic eyes
it took a month for me to cry
and all the things they asked me do
the trigger found I found in YOU
and all the things they said I'd see
was all the things I hate in me.

I understand now so much more.
I'm sorry that I am so late.
I could wish forever more
and pray to mark another date
Alway I remember then
your eyes in wonder...wonderment...
how we chose the herbs you drank
a child in wander--your garden.

By the pool,
we drank a toast.
All the herbs were then in bloom.
And the horses smelled the boast--
they stretched their necks
despite of gloom.
We laughed at them...
herbs out of reach.
Clever us,
to cause the breach
of a hunger left unknown
the yearning ever to go home
and now your questions are my own.

Goodbye, angel of our tears...
ephemeral--
a sylph endeared...
all that you ever wanted be--
I'll pray for strength of you in me.

love to you...in your weakness?
You are my strength.
I'll not
forget.

A wonderful tribute to your friend, Serenity. You may not feel this appropriate from me, but I am an old man and seen and felt much, and I tell you true, when all is said and done, only the memories are what we have, keep the good ones in your heart.  Thoughts go for you...gentle smile

This is a heartbreaking poem. So sad...a angel spread your wings and embrace.

Sometimes
Candlebox

I wipe the night from my eyes
Block out the sunny day and I hide
Everything's falling down around us
I'm just missing the rain
I'm happier now today
Don't let me down
Don't let me go
A change of seasons inside her mind
In time I'll decide
In time I'll decide to move on
We change directions, we watch the tides
And we borrow too much
We form restrictions and we form lines
And we separate you from me
Sometimes, sometimes we carry more weight than we own
Oh but sometimes sometimes goes on
Night takes the light by the hand
Tunes out the boring day and cries out loud
Everyone's hanging on, hanging on my words
It kills the thrill in being divine
But she's happier now today
Don't let her down
Don't let her go
There are no reasons there are no lies
We just bleed together
That's how we realize
We change directions we watch the tides
And we borrow too much
We From restrictions and we form lines
We separate you from me
Sometimes sometimes we carry more weight than we own
Oh but sometimes sometimes goes on
Somehow we'll find a way we've got to paste it back together
These ripped out pages of old coloring books where your
Gold is silver, my blue is gray
Its all held together by cellophane tape
but We change directions, we watch the tides
And we borrow too much
We form restrictions and we form lines
We separate you from me
Sometimes sometimes we carry more weight than we own
Oh but sometimes sometimes goes on
In my head I've got everything I want in you

so powerful and full of emotion. THere are times when we must say good bye to loved ones but remember they will remain in our hearts whereever they may have gone. Take care, huge hug.
