he would pour himself into a shot glass
and
drink his soul away ~
away from those he loved dearly
and
the world around him
~ everyday ~
~
he would bathe his spirit in a slow, slow burn ~
allowing the heat to dissolve his pain.
he did not care to live his life ~
only
to drown himself in shame.
~
there was nothing we could have done,
except stand by him
and
reluctantly watch
ζ
and

love a man with a spirit
so broken,
so conflicted
and
so despondently
lost

a decade passed
∫
ten birthdays,
two bar mitzvahs,
first jobs
&
concerts.

sports and art expos,
a high school graduation,
driving a car
&
one off to college.

dreams so desperately wished upon
have passed without her here ~ ~ ~
and
though i see her in their eyes
and
feel her in my heart,
the sadness of missing my mother will never fade
or
truly
ever
depart.

enwrapped
¤
as
the sound of holiday cheer
begins to wield its tune,
i can feel myself enwrapped
in
a blustering cold blanket
of
~ blue ~
the return of too many memories
of those
i love
~ no longer here ~
and
the loneliness which taunts my heart
and
drowns my soul
in
tears

lamentations

:
i know he has to go
but
knowing does not make it any less painful.
:
:
it is not a ‘forever‘ goodbye,
it is a ‘i’ll see ya later‘ goodbye.
however,
inside
it is a ‘i will miss you so, so, so very much‘ goodbye
and
‘i cannot wait for you to come back home‘ goodbye

you may be
a young man
on the cusp of being an adult,

Happy Day to Our Special Guys…

To the special men in our lives who may not have contributed to our gene pool ∼

and
have given of themselves in ways
only a very special person ∼
a special heart

letting go….
……..
….
it can wrench one’s heart
destroy a person’s body
give life to writing
rebuild a shattered spirit
can free a tormented mind
….
……..
the movies in my mind
∞
scenes of life keep passing by
as
hours upon hours come and go
∞
people, places and stories may change
but
an audience of one… faithfully remains
