[hometext] => A sad one... but happy too, in a weird way...
[bodytext] => If you should return and find me gone,
House empty; life done,
Remember - death is not eternal.
You shall find me still: -
In the photographs smiling from the mantlepiece;
The one of us smiling, that look upon my face,
Written notes in pages of forgotten old books,
Hiding in corners, crevices, and nooks.
And in the moments you find me, I beg you; don’t cry,
Be happy for that part of me, with you, alive,
Remember when our hearts beat so close together in time,
I hold you now, through the immortal lines of this rhyme.
And wait for the day when we two shall be free;
Of the mortal binds that restrict both you and me.

Wow. I like this one even better than your last one.
The whole thing is very well done, I love the structure, and the rhyme.
I would say this was more a happy poem, sad, of course, but generally, it focuses on good, instead of bad.
Good write,
*hugs*

Phyllis recommended this write and I'm so glad she did. This piece was thoughtful, sad, yet so utterly beautiful. These lines brought tears to my eyes.......
In the photographs smiling from the mantlepiece;
The one of us smiling, that look upon my face,
Written notes in pages of forgotten old books,
Hiding in corners, crevices and nooks.
Damn, that was touching to my heart. Thank you for sharing.
Peace, Laura |

Pretty god damn beautiful. Stirring sentiment, strong imagery. And a lovely way to reconcile loss, as it reminds us that memories, mementos and reminders of the departed are all around us and in us, too.

I love this poem. You conveyed the sense of sorrow but managed to show a glimpse of hope. Very well written.
Eternally Punished,
