Absence; or The Fonder Heart

Heart shaped in lit candles

If she does not come home, would you miss her
Would you care, or dare, feel happiness
Relief, she is gone, your heart sings
Before long, a song of long
Awaited freedom, yes
She is gone, you are
Free to be you
No second
Guessing
No
More
Sharing
Compromise
Being nice, kind
Greetings with a kiss
Compassion and caring
Random embrace just because
Despair, she is gone, your heart aches
You do care, or dare, feel loneliness
Would you miss her, if she never came home

Figment: or My Imagination

Figment; or My Imagination

Figment; or My Imagination is a poem about a parent who is grieving the loss of a child. The child comes to them in a dream, but it seems so real. After the dream is over, the parent is wondering if the child really appeared?



Dear child where have you gone
Dear child it's been way too long
Missing you, morning, noon, night
Longing for the return of your light

Light in your contagious smile
Light in your warm touch
Light in your healing words
Light in your steady gaze

Keep your eyes shut, fear not
My smile- contagious still bright
My touch- warm is just right
My words- healing ever so light
My gaze- steady no longer tight


Dear child have I conjured fantasy
Is my imagination out on a tangency
Eyes now open still in a dream
Mind deceives me to the extreme

Mine to have, a dream is a dream
Flowing through my bloodstream
For me to keep for a lifetime
The aura of you is so sublime
