I'm writing you a letter from the deepest part of my heart
To understand my meaning you must read both end and start
Darling love whom I hold dear amidst the trials
Though far away, it is your face I see all the while
Do you remember nights of passion and romance?
Do you remember how we'd kiss and laugh and dance?
It's as if only yesterday we were talking about life
But then was a time of less sadness and strife
I pray every night for your return to my embrace
I wish for your soft lips to be the ones I taste
Oh, love of mine, will you ever come back?
What does the vast terrain hold that home lacks?
Do you remember the tender kisses by the fire?
What of the heated nights of passion and desire?
Assure to me that the memories you held dear
Amidst your lonely heart have not disappeared
Come back someday to hold me in your arms again
Forever I pray this to God, Amen
Think of me sometimes, I ask you to try
And now with a tear, I am saying goodbye
...Goodbye

Poetry: The last good-bye
Mother, I thought you'd always be
Here in my life, here with me
Missing your phone calls and your jokes
Your "look at that"
by Carrie Harp
Palm
Place your palm against the water
Feel the tension float away
You know you could sink forever
You can swim another day...
by Rena Kay
Called Home
You buried me on that cold and blusterous winter day.
The mourners had left but you chose to stay.
Snow swirled
by Joy Adderton
Did you know on that frightful day that it was your last good-bye?
Did you have it all planned out?
As you packed the kids
by Kelly Stoll
Polka-dot-dress dancing.
Pearl earrings to match.
Satin ballet flats,
A shawl midnight black.
Rose colored blush.
