Goddess of Darkness and Light
I beg and implore of thee this night
How much longer must I wait
This absence of my children to terminate?
I die inside a little more each day
Knowing I am so close, yet so far away.
‘Tis not and never was my want, always a need
Their presence, their smiles, their faces I long to see.
Patience ye say ~ ‘tis my virtue to learn
But the pain is killing me as each day turns.
Into another and a week
Becomes a month of bleak
Hopeless fears under
This mountain of despair I lie assunder
Goddess of Light & Dark
Of Earth, Air, Water and Fire Spark
Bring my prodigy
Back to me…
I would rather at a stake be burned
Then to pass of this heart-ache in a tears urn…
That is now
Pulling me down
to drown
Within its depths
Of darkness and the abyss
‘Tis been much to long
in this blue dragon's song…
no more can I endure
my mundane life without their laughter
Please guide them into mine arms
For this Mommy cries and mourns
My very reason
For every season
The only beautiful deed
Of this sad and lonely
Mother of two
They with eyes of forest green and ice blue—
Aricia Elizebeth and Aspasia Lorraine
Please Goddess! Release me from this pain.
How much longer must I wait
For my despair to dissipate?
I beg and implore of thee
Return my prodigy to me …
As in my minds eye I see to their delight
Purple Kitty Kats chasing Pink Butterflies….

This took my breath away
Oh wow... thank you for telling me you've netered three times though. This just might have been your best. This was absolutly gorgeous. As I was reading, no worry, I don't judge. I felt as if you were possibly Wiccan. I loved how the repition got me into this poem. I didn't understand the title until the end. this was sad, but I loved this. I absolutly loved this. I felt like i was reading a prayer and you were desperatly reaching out. I hope that all hope isn't lost. xox

Wow that's really tragic. Your children died? sorry if that question is a little intense I just wish to know. My mom is a little upset about all her children starting to move out. I told her "MOM YOU STILL HAVE ME I'M STAYING FOR A FEW MORE YEARS" but she doesn't really listen. When someone goes away or dies you should think about the happy things in life. No i'm not being a consulor. Like the memories you had of them. yes they will burn your heart remembering but after a while you will see that it's wonderful to have something to hold onto. something that will make them never leave. A memory. a shirt. anything. We never want to lose the ones that we love.
