If I could fly~

If I could fly to you on butterfly wings

I'd take a leap of faith to meet you on the other side

touch within your soul's grandiose absence 

hurricane's darkly blitz'd residuals brought

hydrangeas' sapphire rains 

you chang'd the rhyme in your demise,

empty heart flutters in this sadness of illusions

'Love you to the moon and back' & 'round Jupiter’s stars

sweet reminisces of once upon a time's presence

Oh Frieda, this poem more than any other poem, I've read, tucks at my heart's strings, with it's lament of what was lost. Especially, after a close friend near brush with death, after a major stroke, on February 14th, and sequential three seizures, as an aftermath of the stroke. I wish i could fly up there and bring her, back, so the two of you, could have more time, together. Thank you, for sharing this very personal poem, with us.

Sorry to hear that therisa, thanks for your lovely thoughts here.

[therisa]

Thank you, Frieda. The good news is, she has been transferred to a rehab centre, on Monday, and is itching to get back home.

[Frieda P]

Good to know, I wish her luck in her recovery. If she's already itching to go home, she's halfway there...

I don't know how it you it my dear, but everything you write is laced with several lines that stop a reader in his tracks and makes him forget there is a poem to be read. You changed the rhyme in your demise...I could write an essay on the multitude of sentiments I'm harbouring about that one. Sweet reminisces of once upon a time's presence...it's hard not to reminisce about something that is forever etched in our conscience. Anyone who reads this will surely leave it feeling like there is somebody out there that understands them...but don't think the feeling isn't mutual either my dear friend...xo

[Frieda P]

Yes I know you're all too familiar with this feeling as well my friend, as always you humble me with your kind words dear Benji. xo

Painful They say what doesnt kill you makes you stronger that's a bunch of crap like a few other things i could mention. The truth is these things will be with you a long time and become a part of who you are and who you become. In your memory she lives on.

[Frieda P]

Yeah right, or makes you an insane person....thanks for your thoughts here Tate.
