The Last Time- A Poem
42
In the walk of life and wake of time,
A few things were left out.
You stood by in stranger tides,
Held my hand in bumpier rides.
All our lives, we grew up together.
By my side, you were forever.
I lived my life just for you,
A fairy tale of ‘Happily Ever After.‘
And today,
I stand over your grave.
With a torn heart,
Somebody snatched away an integral part,
Of my love, of my life.
For the last time,
I want you to stand up.
Give me hug and kiss me forever,
Defy death and not go back,
Don’t leave my side ever.
But you remain silent, soundly asleep.
Testing me, smiling, from your eternal bed.
You weren’t here anymore, you weren’t mine.
I wanted you to stand up.
Give me hug and kiss me forever,
But it did not happen,
Just this last time.

An extraordinary poem that anyone who has lost a loved one can relate to. This is very beautiful and has left a mark on my heart.

Thank you for your kind comments. Mostly, the people we want to hold forever, the people with whom we want to live forever are not the people that are meant to be with us....this is the nature of life. Most of us don't understand it and frankly speaking, even I don't. I know that life moves on but still, memories linger and cause pain.
Thanks a lot Sherry. If it did leave a mark on your heart, then the purpose of the poem is fulfilled. :)
You are sometimes too wise for your years.
Well, thank you for saying that. But as someone said, being wise is not defined by the years. I believe that..... :)
And i don't know if i am wise or not, I just express what I feel... :)
thanks for saying that.....
A beautiful moving poem rag, it is sad when we lose a loved one but we must move on but never forget them. Cheers
Thank you attempted humour. :) Yes, thts completely true.....we gotta move on. :)
"You weren't here anymore. You weren't mine."
As long as you can write these words, they remain in your heart forever. Memories live on forever, as I hope your expressions of feeling do, mar.
Thanks a lot mar. Yes, memories live on forever even if the person is no longer with you...love never dies...it stays on till the last breath.....
Very well said.
Thanks a lot Karen.....and thank you for the follow.... :)
My friend I to have stood over the graves of many I've lost with sorrow in my heart, we've spoke in the silence of the day/night and understood that time is eternal and that one day I to will cross over to the other dimension and touch their finger tips with mine and we would once again share the wine and sip each others joy with delight. Peace my friend, you are not alone....never.....
Thanks a lot Saddle... That comment is rather assuring...:) yes, one day...we will be lucky enough to go up and be in the presence of all those loved ones we lost in this mortal world... :)

A very poignant and heartrending poem ragha. Perhaps those we love with all our hearts are on another journey, always protected by the ultimate love we're all a part of forever.
