Giveth Yet Taketh Away

Giveth yet Taketh Away.

 

She created being for me

young meant lucky in that

overnight she admittedly disappeared

without a fight and no rapacious thoughts

 

Hidden away in the hills eloping with the free

mammoth conversions taken aboard

as she climbed, surfacing and

conforming unyielding for an eternity of reasons

 

Crying out, craving representation of 

a part of the source

knowing somewhat pieces missing, blueprints unfinished

so distractions from such emptiness and anguish

few i had, more i yearned with glowing affections

 

Haunting visions, nightly

how i perceived you

as i didn't know

would it have really

killed you to send one photo

 

Oh how do you

just forget the existence of us

of me and what was

supposed to be our puzzle and our pilgrimage

 

Awakening spirit finally within you,

willing love, becoming vital once more

 

Open hearts had and did come

from many angles

succeeding in forgiving

partly failing in forgetting

The flower blossomed

she became my best friend

we now travelled a path together finally

 

Morbidly over time her body failed her and

pulled slowly and frustrating 

this child of christ into

a warm safe place

pain, aching and desperation

lifted from her shoulders

to be freed to suffer no more

now she was yet 

 

I had lost my smile

my piece to the puzzle

again emptyness stayed by my side

as the nile was flooded with my tears

until mine was the drought 

 

Kneeling, begging the sun to rise 

needing life after becoming practically defunct

in my grief and melancholy

 

That day did appear

dont question how but

taller i stood moving on apparent

 

She blossmed still my giving flower

just not in physical ways

a precious place in my heart

held only and always 

for her

 

My Creator

My Mother
