A Song for Michael
I wasn’t planning to post, I just wanted to read poetry and rest my listing mind. I found Dine Racoma’s "Poems from the heart". I was engaged… then I read her poems… then about Joseph Michael… then… the damn dam broke! I can’t contain the wells of my eyes. My fingers became restless once more. Take time to visit http://poemsfromtheheart.wordpress.com
I cannot help but cry
I cannot help but burn
Sorrow knows no border
Succumbs to a hearts murmur
I cannot help but weep
I cannot help but sigh
The list grows and gnaws
Our world and all it’s woes
I cannot help but grieve
I cannot help but ache
Leave no room for the crows
Save the nightingale and his bloody rose
I cannot help but feel
I cannot help but slip away
A mother’s milk sours
When an angel sleeps on angel hours
Dine Racoma Says —
thank you so much. i am so touched, very.
same with me also, sometimes i just want to read poetry then oh so suddenly the words just flow, emotions run wild, and them verses just beautifully blend.
Michael is indeed an inspiration.
let me, like the rest of those who read you before me, welcome you to the blogosphere.

Very simple yet so evocative. Like those by emily dickinson or e.e. cummins, two of my favorite poet from America.

Dine Racoma (sexy mom) is my friend and I attended the wake for Baby Michael. This is is a beautiful poem to celebrate the sweet, short life of a baby .. not just Michael. “A mother’s milk sours when an angel sleeps on angel hours” — gave me goosebumps. Will come back for more of your poems and lyrical prose.

Thanks for visiting. That last verse came to me when I was in tears. I can only imagine - but will never fully comprehend a mother’s murmuring heart nor I fully absorb my mother’s longing whispers.
