[hometext] => About a man who always sweeps at the end of our road.
[bodytext] => He sweeps The broom emphasising his crooked spine He Sweeps Thick saliva falling from his mouth Tears fall to the ground from exhaustion His clothes worn and oversized He smells like he is forgotten His face reflects the loneliness in his heart Head bowed low yet he is not ashamed He clears the path for her It was her request to him This was her request And now she is gone The need for her happiness lives on in his heart He hears her sweet voice in his soul He mutters quietly to himself “I do this for you my beautiful, wife Everyday, I do this for you” He imagines her sweet smiling face of approval And closes his eyes to soak in the memory of her She was his very soul, his reason for being He grips the broom as a familiar pain of longing devours him And waits for a distraction from his anguish He remembers a poem he wrote for her so many years ago Never leave me my beautiful wife To be without you would end my life If I should die before you’re gone My love for you will always live on Carry with you my darling where ever you go The knowledge that I adore you so I promise to you my endless love And will love you still in heaven above [comments] => 3 [counter] => 164 [topic] => 48 [informant] => quadira [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 6 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
