A friendly gypsy once said to me,
to wait at the crossroads at Halloween Eve.
I was pining for a love I once sent away,
the gypsy said to think of her on that day.
All day I waited, right up till nightfall,
it was then that I heard my name called.
Out of the mist she slowly walked,
beautiful as always and we sat and we talked.
Why did I ever send her away,
this time she would be here to stay.
A mistake I made a year ago
but now she was back and my love I would show.
I asked for forgiveness - it wouldn't happen again,
she held me tight and our tongues did blend.
We made love all night long,
but when I awoke in the morn', she was gone.
So distraught was I that I wrote a letter,
I explained my love and that I would come get her.
I received a reply that following day,
from the girls mother and it did say.
"Dont write anymore as that journey she won't start,
she died a year ago on halloween Eve from a broken heart".
On Sunday her love is leaving,
Dose he know her heart is grieving?
She knows that if its meant to be,
He will return to set her heart free.
But for now she's in her living hell,
Hiding her pain so no one can tell.
Loving him with every ounce of her being,
remembering the love that once was steaming.
Please G-d don't let her fall too hard,
My selfish fear, she will remain marred.
when i lost my mother, i couldn't be 'reached' for days - a friend handed me this small book of short poems with this particular one bookmarked. I just wanted to share...........
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there... I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow...
I am the diamond glints on snow...
I am the sunlight on ripened grain...
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you waken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of gentle birds in circling flight...
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there... I did not die...
this is not my work i just wanted to share
She lost her faith in those she'd trust,
Our home, my home, nearly turned to dust.
Couldn't she see or even feel,
No one person should make you ill.
You have support and loyalty too,
A hasty decision you could come to rue.
When love in a family is this strong,
It's easy to see we all belong.
Bad ones will surface just like a piranha,
But we stand as 'one' - OHANA.
At 3.15am very early Saturday morning
a loneliness engulfed me before the dawn came.
How I hate September a month best forgotten
it had the promise of hope but that's turned rotten.
I need to go to bed, or do i need to cry
why didn't she grip tighter, I know it's not goodbye.
Deep inside I feel I've failed her, I just know it
she deleted her page and site, bit by bit.
The pain she was in to do such a thing
an incredible woman my heart she did win.
She's out there in the dark now
she really did touch me, oh G-d and how.
No, she's not alone and the stars will always show
she's in my garden, we share the same sky you know.
Heaven heard that scream
I filled my lungs but lost a dream.
Standing on the wall that keeps me safe
The tears flowing freely down my face.
My eyes red, burning and stung
Wasn't this week so much fun.
I could run and run and never stop
Never stop until I drop.
She warned me, she's not at fault
I was never one for being self-taught
We share the sky, stars and moon
Damn it, gone to soon.
Just getting tired to keep on trying
But giving up is not what I'm implying
Just moving on, but it's so hard
Especially with a heart thats marred.
my dad said to write about vamps
I like Buffy I have all her stamps
but i'm gonna write in rap
oops, no i'm not, dad said he wont post that

I LOVE YOU DAD
