sorry about the name but i really had no title for this one

Alone at her bedside I say
One Hand tucked into deep pockets
Chest filled with the stagnant tension filled air that
Engulfed the once hopeful few

Young was I but not to stupid
There was something ABOUT to happen
A sudden cold breeze made the sounds that kept the conversation between
Everyone’s eyes going

In the shudder of the cold I suddenly realized the
Stares of confusion that surrounded me
on this bed lay  my hearts fleshly resting place , god’s gift to man
A rose worth waking up to smell a fragrance unparalleled to all

Yet even with the look of death in her eyes
The rose still showed her petals
And thought still unaware of this present dilemma
I stretched forth my hand shaking with unknown fear

In my eye's corner I saw the tears of my second family
I looked back towards the bed to see a pool of radiance
The sadness seemed to be transferring to everyone
My heart felt the downward pull of grief the pull of pain

How much longer till we can be together
Till I can hold you without the help of a man made apparatus
Holding the key to your happiness your joy
The freedom that was stolen from you for me

The tight grip I had was wearing out
The room around me now blurred became as backdrop
As god's indication of sorrow became evident
My eye's immediately closed and I was no longer there

In a dream instilled by the warmth near me
I saw the days' gone by
I seemed like only yesterday we were running through the blessings of god
now i was missing the feeling so badly ,angered by the downs of life

as i was in the bliss of the past
i smelt a delicate fragrance and felt the soft cloudlike warmth on my face engulf my body
my cheeks were streaming with warmth  
and in that  moment it was almost the same as always....almost

with the air out my lungs , those seconds without air seemed like hours
i wanted to say something but what
there was a lump in my throat i poked my finger on the  left side
i felt a sickness like no other and there was no known cure

i reached over to look into the source of the radiant river
i froze for a moment my body ceased to function
i peered deep into that river till i could see myself
and when i looked beyond that i recieved a sence of lost time

the cross like pendant that hung from my neck
now rested on my sexualy opposites' torso
the reminder of a great past
and hopeful future times together

i took no notice of the meter to the front of me
the beeping sound was slower than when i first walked in
i wasn't very observant for a sixteen year old
and neither was she

as the beeping grew further and further apart from one another
and the people around drew in closer so as to set a unwelcome mood
i took no notice of how close our faces were to each other
and to the people on the other side of the bed

a peaceful yet weak touch came to my lips
startled a bit i pulled back
my left hand now dangerously close to the breathing apparatus
when i had reached my distance i heard a beeping sound

i opened my eyes and saw the green light go red
i pulled away from a kiss i had reluctantly waited on for so long
only to discover the her hands now cold and sweating had touched lips
i reached to grab her falling hands

people came rushing in wearing  white coats
and i was ripped away from her side
in tears i escaped the arrest and rushed to her side again only to hear her last words of  amnesty
WITH THE LOVE OF GOD IN ME FOREVER AND ALWAYS I FORGIVE YOU!!!!!

What a lovely collection of words. This was beautiful. Somehow I feel richer for having read it. Forgiveness is so full of light that this write shouldn't be in "dark."
Love,
Terri~

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender...Dido

your brought me right there

on this bed lay  my hearts fleshly resting place , god’s gift to man
A rose worth waking up to smell a fragrance unparalleled to all

THIS are astounding lines

and rest knowing she and yourself
are now at peace
*smile*
