As I lay sleepless In this dark and quiet room The night covers me Like a shroud of accusing cloth We converse, you and I After a lifetime of silence I have so many things to tell you So many things never said Most of all the love Hidden so deeply in my heart Lo, these long and barren years I give you now, freely I feel the rush As it flows out of me To it’s rightful place To you, across the void For so long I was reluctant To share it, to show it Perhaps it was the stubborn pride You passed down to me I remember every heated exchange Every angry word On that last fateful day The day no one said goodbye And now, in the silence I weep bitter tears In painful retrospect For all that could have been All the precious time Wasted, gone now, never to return Drifted away like smoke On the wind of false pride Oh, how I miss you And I sigh helplessly Trapped in my guilt A prisoner of this endless ache So I talk to you now Hoping you can hear me Praying that you are not cold Or hungry, or alone Oh, how I wish, how I wish That I could have held your hand Kissed you goodbye Whispered that I loved you Too late I say it now To the silence, I love you To the stillness of the night Forgive me the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Peggers~ 'We converse, you and I After a lifetime of silence I have so many things to tell you So many things never said Most of all the love Hidden so deeply in my heart Lo, these long and barren years I give you now, freely' You bleed heartache, of things not said, down the page~ Tenderly I touch the screen .... and feel the loss for you~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

pegasus111: A sad and lovely poem! I like to think somehow, people can hear us when we speak words of reconciliation, across the spheres! Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

"Too late I say it now To the silence, I love you To the stillness of the night Forgive me" I like to believe our loved ones who have gone ahead of us into the other side of this world can still hear us, or watch over us. And so, we go on conversing with them, as your poem does. Write on.. |

If your anguish reaches out and touches someone to action before it is too late they will bless you for your jarring words. Dear Friend may you find the peace you seek. Love, Joyce |

Peggers~ 'Oh, how I wish, how I wish That I could have held your hand Kissed you goodbye Whispered that I loved you' So glad this one came around again so that I could quote the part above~ The very thought makes me misty-eyed~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
