~* Wake Me Up When December Ends *~

 

 

 

 

Memories once claimed September,  have come and gone
with birthday wishes,  tears on my pillow
evaporated,  sipped by another sunflower

placed on the timeless Dream to 'roar'
as silent winds,  washed through your mane.

I wandered on clouds in circles~

chased the tail that continued to tease,  playfully
but tip toed over your poetic words that lingered
on the Mind and in Spirit.

How I try to keep the essence
of the season alive and catch rainbows
just for a fraction of its aurae
and how you reach out half way
so I don't miss the color. [in Spirit]

You told me Santa would come,  you claimed
to be the Gift bearer

for those nice sometimes naughty ladies and gentlemen; 
mentioned also embraced extended family-friends.

I'm blessed to have received a generous Gift~

        
of your neverending friendship.

    Penned with a graceful and poetic quill, your words float into the readers heart...Tim I feel, would spill a tear when reading this, the same as I am right now

    Composed with some nice aliteration, and engaging imagery, thank you for this fine entry

    A very good dedication. I enjoyed this read and the context you used.
    This is my favourite part: "chased the tail that continued to tease, playfully
    but tip toed over your poetic words that lingered
    on the Mind and in Spirit."
    Very well done

    Very beautiful write, Desire. This is such a wonderful dedication write. It is so sad when someone close to us dies, but I think it helps if we are able to pour our emotions into a poem. Good luck in the contest.

    Excellent!!!!

    This is the most heartwarming dedication that I have read on this site. There are so many that loved Tim here on AP and always will. This brings tears from my heart. I'm speechless hun.....
    A Beautiful, Loving "Masterpiece" to be treasured by Tim's angelic spirit [still with us], his family, and all his AP friends.
    Tim was such a wonderful, nice gentleman to anyone that crossed his path. He will never be forgotten in our hearts and souls.

    Desire
    You have a charming heart, a heart of gold.
    LOVELY

    Dearest Sis...

    I never had the pleasure of knowing Tim, but I have heard many wonderful things about him.

    Your piece is beautiful and shows how much you really cared for him. To you, and to all others who knew and now miss him, I send much sympathy to all of you. This is a wonderful dedication to a much beloved friend and poet.

    Lovely work Hun!
