~the apple doesn't fall far from the tree~ =)~

Your beauty had curled my existence into a bittersweet immortalness
When you left, you held my heart
Am I not dead?
I remain present only in spirit,
As I blend into the background
In every scene.
As everyone fellowships and engages in heartfelt laughter and friendly, warm smiles,
I stay seated on this cold, metal chair...
And imagine you.
All that I’ve had is gone
All that I’ve known is unfamiliar
And since I only see you in dreams,
I dread sun rise
Awakening in a world in which you are non-existent will only diminish my will to live
And if my fate holds a painful death,
I am not afraid.
For I have endured the most excruciating, unpleasant sensation my body and mind will allow.
The day the most crucial component to my soul was stripped..
Never to be returned again.

Reviews

[Lachenille Papillion]

There is no mistaking that seamless breath of eloquence and talent that flows from your veins to hers, but while my heart and soul is touched deeply by the kindred torch of Deme Legacy, it is Una's unique voice, palpable with her heart, that my ears drink as I find myself in that place that I alone forebear, upon my knees, on the edge of that abyss that I could have sworn only I knew was there... and yet, now I see her shadow, too~

Too many powerful words, made beautifully dark, and smitten by such an ache...

Little Sunshine creating her own universe... and I foresee the book...

Now you know nothing is ever in vain. She heard you, even when you thought she wasn't listening. She has a beautiful poetic voice just like her Mami. She sings.

How gorgeous! It's clear that Una inherited your skill.The flow of words and imagination in this poem is brilliant.You have to go deep in your mind for this kind of art.

[Alicante lullaby]

bittersweet immortalness...love that
she is a wonder...this one has a taste of its own...and i know it must be special to you for other reasons too.

[Art]

talented and creative she is...this poem has an emotional feeling that one can feel, almost as if one has felt and experienced this. Your daugther is surely as talented as you are...

Oh Selene you are so right the apple doesn't fall far does it, she is lovely, compassionate and brilliant, just like her amazing mommy.

I thought it was a picture of you and your writing.

You must be soo proud. I am very, very happy for you two, thanks for sharing this with us.
