FOR LYS, WITH LOVE
(Part I: Mourning)
What do you say of a soul so sweet,
a mind so nimble,
a spirit so strong?
(Yes, I could go on and on)
Miraculous one.
If I had seen this future,
of writing about you and
not to you.
Would I have let you into my heart,
knowing that my next entry for
"non-erotic poetry"
would be your eulogy?
The tears course down.
The curses spring
to mind.
For I curse everything.
I curse life
for being so perverse.
And I curse death
for causing all the hurt.
I curse that fucked up vein inside your head.
I curse the scans that showed it.
I curse your being dead.
You are grace and kindness.
I am deaf and dumb.
Fumbling with the keyboard,
what senses left
half numb.
Still writing in the wrong tense,
so as not to see
that you are past, not present.
(and, yes, I do resent this)
For you will always be.
Our hearts will always know you,
in memories we'll keep.
In dreams we'll keep on dreaming
you are curled near us in sleep.
They say time is the healer,
the filler of the void.
Our fear is it may never fill
the hearts you've left behind.
But as the days do slowly pass,
blossoms of hope unfurl.
We laugh, we play, we celebrate,
not without Lys, but for her.
Lys, I write this in your honor,
heart full of love,
tears brim, chest aches.
Blessing your life's next journey
and hoping, one day, to be with you again.
Dedicated to TT and Penu...I know that life moves on, but that Lys's spirit will be ever-present in our hearts and minds. I am so sorry for your loss.
