I fear for the day where I will
forget the lilting flow of your voice,
the texture of your skin
and the shape of your face.
I fear for the day where
my remaining kin
will join you wherever you lie.
I cannot help but be so pessimistically
maudlin, for everything around me is in
ruins.
My life, my everything.
The things that used to comfort me
hardly work to do so now...
They hardly work to ease the pain,
to chase my discomforts away.
My family - your family,
is on edge, we are so tense
with sorrow that verbal
spars erupt frequently over silly grudges.
I fear that our family will be broken apart,
strewn to pieces,
anger seperating us.
You would not have let that happen,
you were the thing that tied our family
together,
linked everyone.
I am being conceited,
so selfishly brutal,
yet I cannot help fearing
those horrible things.
Death is now a part of me,
and yet I still am petrified of it.
It has swept you away into
another realm,
a place where I cannot go
until my time has come.
It has swept you away into
another realm,
a place where you cannot turn back,
a place where you cannot leave.
Death is irrevocable,
cannot be undone.
I fear the day where the memories of you
will fly away,
where I will no longer remember
you mentouring me,
shaping and molding me into the person
I am now.
I fear the day where the memories of you
will fly away,
where I will no longer be able to recall
important events that we shared.
You would not have wanted me to
be so fearful of so many things,
but I cannot help it.
From this fateful experience
I have learned to cherish life.
I do not want to be robbed once more
of such an extraordinary gift,
and would very much so like to keep
hold of my hoard of things.
I remember so many things about you,
so many things that I do not want to lose,
to forget.
I remember you cherising all the moments
that we had together,
enoying my company.
A few months ago life without you
was looked upon as a joke
by myself and others.
We could not even imagine that you could be
gone,
we could not even imagine that you would
leave us so soon.
You were so strong,
so yourself, so alive and vibrant,
that we could not picture you
lying in a wooden casket.
I hardly thought of the future,
especially the future where you were not there;
I wish I had spent more time with you,
talking about life,
talking about everything.
I thought I would never have to think
about life without you,
that you would forever be by my side,
holding my hand and counseling me.
You can no longer offer your guidance,
only by leeway of memories engraved into my mind;
I fear that the marks that you have made upon me
will fade away.
I fear death, for it
whisks away the essence of a person,
the breath of a person,
and their soul.
I fear death, for it
stole you away from me far too soon.
Although I fear many things,
one thing I will never fear is
that my love for you will diminish.
I will always love you regardless to whether
I remember every detail of you;
you were a part of me, such a grand role in
my life.
I could never forget the significance
and impact you held over me.

| This is so brilliant! I loved the use of words and imagery. You also have the knack of being able to convey your emotions through words! As your editor, I'm having great difficult trying to spot something that I could criticize. |

SUCH A GREAT HEART FELT MOVING DECATION TO YOUR MOTHER. My mom died 5 years ago while I was away it affects me still to this day. Your sadness shows greatly in your words. The love you have for your mother is great. And with this poem you shall never forget what she ment to you and what you ment to her. I'm sure she is still around behind every tear you shed for her And she will never leave that speical place in your heart.
