I wrote this in 2006 as I grieved the loss of a man I love. He'd died, suddenly, of a heart attack, as I was selling my home and aiming to move to Nova Scotia and build a small cabin on the land he'd offered to sell me. . .

Jim

by The Poetess (SRP)

 

I longed to build a home

In the grove of birch trees,

Where the ferns grew wild,

On the land you showed me.

My Heart found you

There by the Sea. . .

And still lingers on that shore

Of the Bay of Fundy.

Deep inside I feel certain

That we'd met before we met,

That our souls

Had been entwined,

Though our bodies hadn't yet.

My dreams deeply miss you

And miss what might have been

I cry for lost good-byes,

My sweet Berwick man.

This is a wonderful thing. My own mother had her Jim. I so adored him and I really adore this tribute to a man with the same name. I'll share it with her and she will love it, too.

Jim has come to me in my dreams to hold and comfort me. He had left me his home, but others took it before I knew. In my last dream of him we were dancing. That was long ago. But I'm sure we'll meet again.

Deep inside I feel certain
That we'd met before we met,
That our souls
Had been entwined,
Though our bodies hadn't yet.

to me, these are the key lines to the heart of this wonderful and warm, loving tibute to a dear, one-of-a-kind love that was lost before it was truly found. And therein, too, is the key to your on-going bond. One day, I pray, you will find each other for certain sure in a time and place from which your mutual joy cannot be robbed. Beautiful work, thank you. And my sincere condolences at your untimely loss. xx

THIS IS A PROFOUND SHARING, POETESS...TRUE LOVE COMES FROM THE HEART, SOUL AND MIND OF TWO THAT BLEND, TOUCH AND MELT TOGETHER...BEFORE PHYSICALLY ENTWINING. IT IS A SHAME THAT THE BEAUTY OF 'GOD'S WAY' IS SCARCELY EXPERIENCED TODAY. WELL DONE. LOVE AND BLESSINGS, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

What a bloody shame, the loss of a damn nice bloke.
Four years on and it must seem like no time has passed.

Somehow though, poetry heals in its mystic cathartic way. It is the 8th wonder of the world.

A perfect tribute to your Twin Flame...
He is always WITHIN you surely you sense that..go to him in dream-time for that is the REAL reality..

Beautiful heart-wrenching verse..

Blessings,

Beautiful poem, Poetess.

Aw! This is a lovely write. I am quite familiar with Nova Scotia, and it truly is a beautiful province. I'm sorry things didn't work out for you and your little cabin on the Fundy Shore. I am from Newfoundland but I live in New Brunswick...All three of these provinces are beautiful, but of course for me there's no place like Newfoundland!

Hugs,
Anna

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
