MINA'S EULOGY - POEM

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

Goodbye my dear angel, don’t look back!

It took some time to regain your wings,

your last years were real nightmare,

you have been through too many things.


It’s too late now to change your path

or blame the saints for such mistakes,

for all the forks put on your path;

nothing will erase the past or wipe its marks.


Those scars were meant to stay in place

as a reminder of the war you fought

between the worlds that you

were trapped and forced to live in.


Your last months on this earth

were worse than a quick descent

into the burning depths of hell,

it was worse than giving birth.


Despite all that, you never said a word

or fought back for your life

which was hanging by a thread

you wanted to have cut.


Don’t know how you coped with

the pain and burning for so long

without a touch of morphine,

suffered in silence as a dog.


Now that you’re gone, I finally

understand why you chose to stay

and not complain about the delay;

it was for your kids and not yourself.


Your curly hair, your perfect smile

the dimples on your cheeks, your warm laughter

is all that’s left once you passed away,

a memory that I will forever cherish .

Beautiful. @rumplestiltskin has a poetry contest :)

@syndicates Thank you. I will check it out.

Beautiful written but very emotional and touching
This is such a beautiful eulogy

Quite beautiful but also emotional - and very touching. Sometimes words like this can mean so much to different people in many ways - the sentiments can mean something to others without you ever realising how. Thank you for sharing, this meant many things to me.

I am glad you liked it. That's the whole purpose of a poem, to touch the reader, to make him connect at some level. I wrote this poem for one of my family members who recently left us.

Very beautiful and touching poem. Really got me.

Well done indeed, an emotional touching poem full of pain and reality. This is sad but you felt this for someone one time or another we all deal with death unfortunately. Be well my poet friend @lymepoet

Thank you. You are right. We think we are prepared for it, but the truth is, we never are.
