He Was 77 Years Young

redrose66/ August 10, 2015 / Life Happens

He was 77 years young but lived a full life. He had a large family but now holds hands with his wife. He left behind lots of fond memories and has five children that are over a half a century. (Excluding me and one other from the same mother). Continue reading He Was 77 Years Young

Sad But True

redrose66 / July 15, 2015 / Poems

Love is Genuine, Love True

Love is Suppose to be Forever,” I LOVE YOU”.

Unconditional without Tarnish,

Blemish, Without Diminish.

Understanding and Honesty

Truth and Clarity,

Sharing Lives under an umbrella of Sincerity.

Unbreakable Seal

Burst apart from an earlier Ordeal.

Feeling the heart Shatter

Love apparently doesn’t Matter.

With someone from the past there’s no Competition

Not even if there’s Superstition.

The love thought to have Bonding

Is nothing more than Fonding,

For the heart has been Taught

To block all that could be Harming.

No matter how hard she Tries

Whether they’re married or Nye,

The original love is the one that Survives.

It’s sad but True

As she always in her heart Knew,

His love for her is surface Steep

But the love for his first is forever Deep.

Release of Burden

redrose66 / July 2, 2015 / Poems

EYES MEET

FEELING HEAT

TENDER PASSION

DESIRES OF COMPASSION

LOVE BLOSSOMS

   BUTTERFLIES AWESOME

FLUTTERING NOURISHING

FLOWERS FLOURISHING

FLOATING PETALS

NATURE NESTLES

 WITH POLLENS OF SCENT

ATTRACTION OF TWO MEANT

THE BOND IS BOUND

WITH RINGS OF ROUND

YEARS OF JOY AND BONDING

UNEXPECTED ILLNESS SPAWNING

FINANCIAL CHALLENGES

HEALTH TO SALVAGE

CONSTANT DECLINE

WILL ALWAYS DEFINE

EMOTIONS HE ONCE HAD

ARE REPLACED WITH ONLY SAD

FEELINGS OF GUILT SHE HAS BEARED

KNOWING HER ILLNESS HAD WEARED

MENTIONS WITHOUT ANY SPECIFICS

SHE UNDERSTANDS HER POSITION

TO LIBERATE HIS HEART

HER EXISTANCE MUST SUBVERT

 THE BURDENS SHE BARED

ARE NO LONGER SHARED

THE MOMENT HAS ARRIVED

FOR SHE TOOK HER LIFE

ON THE TABLE BESIDE

WHERE HER BODY LIED

WAS A NOTE

SHE WROTE:

“OUR LOVE WAS TRUE

BUT I ALWAYS KNEW

THE DAY WOULD ARRIVE

SO I HAD TO ABIDE MY TIME

THE BURDEN I BARED

I WISHED NOT TO SHARE

BECAUSE TIME IS PRECIOUS

AND ALWAYS MOMENTOUS

I WANTED YOU TO REMEMBER

OUR LOVE TOGETHER

BEFORE THE UNWILLINGNESS

OF THE ILLNESS

PICTURE BUTTERFLIES

AND BIRDS AS THEY FLY BY

THOUGHTS OF WHEN

WE’RE TOGETHER AGAIN”
