Poem -
A Presence Of Absence
You can't lose me you say
in this fog of the dying
can't you see I'm not dead
I'm not dead
I'm not dead
but what torture... the absence...
Are you here, are you not?
each day to wake, your face
Nearly!!! forgot!!!
And to panic, in photos, while,
Your voice I hear
I am not in the image
I'm presence, I'm near...
But where is this near?
Oh my screaming brain cry's
You are not here to nuture,
Love... I can't find your eyes!!!...
and what agonised hell
every second of day
you love to remind me,
you've not gone away,
but you have

Beautiful poem Marion, its a very sad life we live, never truly knowing what happens. Where do we go when we die.
I see spirits all the time, ghost show up at my door at 3 in the morning but am I just going mad.
I don't think so...there is definitely more than most of us can see, you have an amazing gift...you're not mad x
the feeling you create overcomes me more than words can say
Thanks Mark...sincerely x

Hi Marion.....I havent been on here for a long while and long to know how you are. I have missed reading your work and just read this...your recent one. I feel your grief. It is clear as crystal and spread evenly in your words. A beautiful yet true sad piece for loss is something we never get over but have to somehow move on.....2 years now since my mum......Look fwd to hearing from you my poet friend. Pratibha x
