OUR CONNECTION (A TREASURED LOVE) (July 30, 2007) Third Place Winner inLOVE AND HEARTACHE
Featured in my poetry book Pieces of Me
These tears are falling like showers
My face but a slippery road
And I find myself losing power
With emotions taking control
I can't cope with myself feeling empty
And alone in this deafening place
'Cause I'll drown in tears that sting me
Never-ending and hard to erase
I wish I could reach out my hand
And find yours there to take it
I wish I could call out your name
And hear you whisper back at me
I wish I could see you in person
Instead of just there in my mind
Then maybe I wouldn't feel empty
The way that I'm feeling right now
But you're so out of reach here
This distance I cannot erase
And when I reach out my hands
All I find is just empty space
And though I envision you there
In front of my eyes standing tall
There's no one around to wave to
There's no one to capture at all
It's just me and the deafening silence
And the walls that are closing in
There's no one around to save me
Only birds calling out to me
But their song only brings me more pain
For I'm lost in this jailing world
And I droop on the cold floor shaking
Hoping that I'll be rescued somehow
Until then I'll be caught in the storm here
Praying quietly for it to end
Wishing you'd be the one to appear
Before me reaching out your hand
So I'll grab it and never release it
And hold it close to my flesh
For without your touch I'll be slipping
Further into my heart's bitter ash
It is true that I need you beside me
To wipe all my tears away
It is true that I live for your words now
To help me get through passing days
And it's true that my love's never-ending
For your caring sensitive soul
It will always flame deep inside me
And forever continue to grow
There's a reason fate brought us together
It has bonded us here for life
A bond that will never be broken
And cherished forever inside
And no matter what happens around us
I know you'll always be here
You'll never break up this connection
This connection that I hold dear
You're one of a kind my dear
And you mean to me more than you know
You'll always be treasured so deeply
And my love for you will only grow
You'll forever be there in my mind
And you'll linger till my dying day
And even if you'll never be here
Thoughts of you will help light up my way
And the diamond-like stars in the sky
That brighten the dark dreary night
Will paint me your silhouette
To protect me as my dreams take flight
And these dreams will be beautifully sweet
Drying out the tears that grind
And it's then I will no longer weep
For your love will imprint on my mind
This poem was a very emotional poem for me to write. I think I was even on the verge of tears when I wrote it. Thank you so much for all your feedback.
I've felt like this and you've captured that feeling in a very original and fresh way. When my Grandparents passed into the next life, this was my heart. Superbly written Lena. :)
Lena,
We are lucky in life if we can find this deep of a love, even if it's lost after time. This poem is beautifully written. The starting lines captured me with their originality. Not a surprise that this piece placed in a contest! Even more impressive when one considers that English was not your first language. Love and Hugs,
Sheila

Congrats. I could feel the deep emotion you poured into this piece.
I still continue to weep for my Tom at times. Driving in the car with a thought of an old vacation, at nights, whenever I leave the cemetery, often it is a way of clensing to me too. He is with me in spirit. This poem is so soothing and so sentimental to me and I can relate to it personally. That is what makes it so special to me. Glad you won an award for it. It is good writing.
