A Greeting to a Poetry Daughter

Missing image





Idle your poetry has been of late,
are you withering lonely on the vine?
Many times I have thought of you
echoing through my restless mind.

~*~

"Space you need!" I convince myself.
You must find yourself again;
for 50 nights we've IM'ed
I've bent your mind,  played with your brain...

~*~

Perhaps it is time to collect ourselves
and connect with those we've neglected thus;
but far apart we are right now, 
deep down I fear it is the end of us.

~*~

Of course I'm worried, the uncertainties
that we may never speak again
the love between us but a hazy mist
that vanishes in a fitfull dream...

~*~

Certainty is a gilded gift
that none of us will ever own.
Our bond is strong, yes, it's true,
but can it survive this next unknown?

~*~

I, I miss you... already...  silly... I know...
it's not even May... and yet I'm torn;
I know... I shouldn't be! but nothing is certain
or forever in life... and this misery is borne...



~*~

anyway

Love is pain, pain is love
it's such an ironic commodity...
I hope you find a true love here,
my favorite little oddity!

    Thanks, Kain, nothing like a comment to spur me to go back and tinker with a piece...

    Beautiful. It is wonderful to see poetry in my contest that shows love and passion in a non-romantic sense. I am sure that SwtAsWine would be incredibly appreciative of this token of your fatherly heart. Your words are spoken true, which is something that so many of us yearn to fully accomplish. Thank you for submitting.

    Yours,
    Kain

    Simply irrisistible!

    I read this sereval times and I have to put in my mind that I am not reading this like a love poem that is romantically inclined. This is written so well to an ap daughter? So touching and so moving and it seems that the love is so real that it hurts! Ahh, it is just me.
    I love the arrangement of this poem, the words and the thoughts are simply magnificent!
    Well written and very heartwarming!

    Good work my brother tomerick! Well done!

    Oh my! This is so sweet. Now, I wish I had an AP Dad just like you. How very sweet and kind a father you are and how much you miss your daughter echoes out loud through your poem. I enjoyed each couplet. Together, these flow so well. I adore the background colour. I hope and sincerely wish you hear from your AP daughter very soon.

    With lots of (((hugs)))
