Pearlescent Poems # 59: Soulmates Part 1 - Tribute To My Wife (Original Poem)

in #poetry8 years ago (edited)

P1010833.JPG

I'm looking for you, wherever you are
Steady picking up the pieces, not broken glass shards
Yeah, I'm holding on your hand, like a deck of cards
But I'll never let you go, ‘cause I cannot discard

P1010767.JPG

Keeping you safe, like your own bodyguard
I'll still be standing by your side, when this living gets hard
Cause I’ve been tryna clean up, like a dirty backyard
Make sure I'm supporting you fully, so I give my regards

P1010816.JPG

And...giving you strength, like a medicine ball
Continue building you up, like the Taj Mahal
So I’m speaking to you, from the Spirit within
We're praying, talking with our God, through a conference call

Cause we're all about Christ, Saint John and Paul
Precious life inside you waits, in abdominal walls
Ever pouring out my heart, into these musical halls
I wanna be with you in Montreal

WHY?




I hope you guys enjoyed Part 1 of this verse. I just wanted to do a Just Because appreciation post for my soulmate/wife Claudine. She manages @happyharmonymay's account, so be supportive of her please and give her a follow and check out her funny, amazing posts of our daughter, Harmony's adventures.

Also, the picture of her above showing her pregnant stomach, that was almost half a year ago, and Marcello is now here, almost 6 months old and Harmony is a big sister now. My oh my how time flies. I just wanted to commemorate these memories, especially of the day of our wedding :) Hope everyone's weekend has been amazing.

Call your loved one and show them some special appreciation. Big shout out to all the married couples viewing this post, and for the relationships still going strong and on the path to marriage. Building a family is truly a beautiful thing!




Thank you for reading this post in its entirety, I hope you can take something from this for what it's worth. Share the love



I'll still be continuing accepting donations until I can reach my goal to fly out to america with my children and wife to visit my family as it is very urgent indeed.

Thank you for the update

Wonderful post, you are a very beautiful couple!!!

Thank you for your wonderful words, I am really glad you enjoyed this post. Be sure to follow if you want to see Part 2 and 3 tomorrow and Tuesday. I really appreciate your support and kind comment.

Lol very good post . Share the love ! At moments like this im so sad that im not rich ........

Thank you so much for your kind and sweet thoughts @patelincho, appreciate that bro. We are rich in happiness and wealthy in love. We are going to be okay! Stay positive, just like you say, and share the love!

Stay positive we send you some good vibes :)

Thank you so much for the positive energy, your wonderful gift of donation and your kindness, I truly appreciate the good vibes.

Hey @verbal-d
Glad to see how happy you both are.

Also what is that piece of jewelry that your wife is wearing on her head and is there any religious or cultural significance to it?
It looks really cool :)

Thanks very much for the lovely comment bro. We are still indeed very happy from then until now. Such a blessing!

And it's just a fashion headpiece, probably styled after Egyptian or other cultural/traditional derivatives, but it doesn't hold any religious significance to us in particular. She is Jamaican/Ghanain, and we're both Christians, so I'm not sure exactly where it originates from, but I agree with you, it indeed looks really cool. She has great taste, she styles our daughter and son which you can find on @happyharmonymay account :) Thanks for chiming in bro

We haven't spoke in a while and I am glad to hear that you are doing so well :)

Yeah, it's been a little while my friend. Glad to catch up with you, gotta check your profile soon for some awesome poetry. Been so busy! Thanks for reaching out to me first, I really really appreciate the thoughtfulness

aaawwww love it !

So glad you love it @soldier, wait till you hear the song (Part 3) after Part 2 :)

Ohhh I am exited !!! Can´t wait !!!!!

Brother, brother, brother. Oh, I've already expressed my observation that you do your best work when fueled by your love for your family, so I already know that this is already going to be one of your best! Since you're a man who injects passion in everything that he does, all of your work is of high quality!

Soulmates is right. You and the Mrs. make such a beautiful couple! Harmony and Marcello are just the tangible proof, but beyond that, I just know that you two are meant for each other. To that end, since words alone cannot do justice to the quality of this poem, allow me to append a short rhyme of my own.

The words fly from the page like arrows from cupid's quiver,
Your verses are haunting, with the power to make us shiver.
You two would be seen, when someone searches for the term "love",
It's because you lovebirds are backed by the One Above.

Eagerly awaiting part 2, my bro!

Thank you so much for the moving poem response bro
I really appreciate you going out with a strong flow
I often used to write back my comments in rhyme
But have been cutting it too close like clumsy fingers with lime

You thought the cliche rhyme"time"?
Oh No, please never that line
I avoid the repetition and the deep decline
And practice being kind, and more so benign

Your words refresh the soul with truest intent
And when I finish reading, I am more than content
