In Memory of My Dad



Goodbye Dad
You walk a different path now, it has not being easy knowing you won't be at the end of the phone.  I took a lot for granted when you were here and honestly didn't believe that you would soon be gone.  You kept telling me you didn't think you had much longer but I didn't hear you, I am sorry for this.  The tears of sadness run down my cheeks, I haven't yet felt your presence near.  I hope to see you in my dreams, I hope to hear your voice, but I only see your absence.  Grief visits me in the supermarket, when I am driving in my car, when I am alone and a thought reaches a memory of times gone.  The world is a little empty now, my heart sad, my life more alone.
I have forgotten the song, I have forgotten the tune, I have forgotten a time when I danced on your feet alone. 

Angel Wings brushed my Soul Today

 
 
I passed two lovers today
My age I think
They kissed, they laughed
they hugged
Stiring memories
a long time ago
In shadows we hid
Our attraction
Behind closed doors
we kissed
Memories disturbed
Do I want you?
No
The experience
Maybe
The sharing
The caring
The sighing
The space inbetween
The lovers embrace
The space inbetween
Love stirs
The space inbetween
memories embraced
The space inbetween
I long to fill
It alludes me still.
