memories seeps through the veins
the sweet brings a smile
the bitter brings tears
that pronounced in the prayer
in a heartbreaking melody
with the hope to be materialized
tipped on the edge of exhaustion
*
the days gone by
the year changed
waiting and hoping
the arrival of a loved one
through the summer and the fall
at the end remains the same
lonely and forgotten
*
there is no difference
between empty and weightless
or lonely and forgotten
perhaps it’s a glorious sadness
for the efforts that been done
which the end will be the same
being lonely and forgotten
***
“Mom… I promised you will never ever be put in a nursing home, God knows how much I love you!”

Lovely work and composition, I think. I also like your wordpress theme (I am, I admit, rather a fan of the darker themes. It reminds me of the older days when terminals were black with white, yellow, or green lettering!
Black is my favorite color. Thank you so much for the lovely comment.

Tremendously personal. I don’t think I actually read your words but, rather, felt them. Thank you.
Each person has their own way in reading a poem, but needs a sensitivity to feel it.
Thank you so much Gretchen and have a nice day.

It’s like the unspoken pain, they want to be close but on the other hand have to understand the situation. What can they do but accept.
Thank you so much Maryrose.
Love and hugs,
mei
I think sometimes accepting is harder than forgetting
but then we don’t ever forget do we…
Love and many hugs to you Mei….
