gulping sleep

i miss you

where the intimate flowers dream

inside my unpolished kidney

i miss you

   where the tales are long as lashes

and you mother love me incessantly

delivering me your smell

how i miss you

gulping

what no one knows

gulping

silencing the daughter

who still loves

and loves

loves

every ugliness

no matter

what this fate shows

  1. You know, it will always be thus. Not the pain, which I still hope will pass. But the missing. Because this is who you are, your heart always open, even if someone else has closed hers. And while I tremble from your pain, it is my most fervent wish that your heart remain ever so. The constancy of your compassion for others illuminates this world, my dear Mari. Never change.

  2. Beautiful poem, thank you for sharing. Some really great work that you are continuing to here my friend. May God continue to bless you as you abide and work in His will. Peace be with you.
