“Letters to Juliet”

                   “Letters to Juliet”

Although, you are no longer in our presence,

here on God’s green earth,

I wish to write you and continuously inform you,

your value, here it’s worth.

There’s not a day go by, that thoughts of you,

 is'nt spoken of, are re-kindled,

If I could turn back, the hands of time,

you’d be home again, for death I’d swindle.

Easy come, easy go, the story was unfortunately

 written and told to be so,

The amount of sorrow, since your departure,

you'll never get a chance to ever know.

In the wee hours, of the lonesome nights and

the early moments, of our waking day,  

There is many unmentioned, yet passionate speak not’s

and things I need, to you say.

We miss you ow-so much in our lives

and hurt, from the worse of way,

If God would allow, just one moment with you,

these things, I would with passion convey.

A blue jay perched, near my window today

 and through the window, peered to my dismay,

Of all the birds, it could have been, it happened to be,

 your favorite one, the Blue Jay.

 A letter each day, was my promised to you,

the saddest of days, we both said our goodbyes,

The love I lost, I will never feel, for another again,

that day, I was forced to watch you die.

Words can’t explain, all the hurt and deep pains,

to have watched you slowly slip away,

The bounty I would still give, to have seen you live,

 in that early morning month, of May.

The feelings we once shared, our hearts we did bare,

as we pondered our walks, hand and hand.  

Yet now you are gone and I left alone, with reasons,

 of your departure, not known to man,

My minutes turn now to hours and on cloudy days,

 of torrential showers, my tears outweigh the rain,

Your sweet pictures, they dare, to call to me, I do swear,

adding insult, to injury, loneliness and pain.

Tonight, I will sleep again but without my dear friend,

just another, in the collection of many before,

Though my door will remain open, your name,

forever to be spoken and Like the rain, my tears will pour.

Tomorrow brings another day but tonight I must pray,

for the remembrance, of a love forever now lost,

Though sleep, will take a while, all I have is a memory of a smile,

 yet my heart once warm, now harbors frost……… …to be continued....
