Remembering: Past and Present

Older poetry:

Ending of a Cycle

 You are my partner in waking and sleeping….

All consuming to the inner portion of me,

Traveling, resting, never leaving.

My only salvation comes from looking deep within.

Calling upon my being not seen or heard.

Calm transcending that partner…

You have no friend, only a host

I become one, telling you I have better to do,

Not struggling…

With struggle comes a better hold…

The cycle begins again.

My choice---

Go within and rise above,

Ending the pain.

PA Wade 1983

 

 

Kindred

 Time and distance are the foes.

Keeping family as strangers, no one ever really knows.

Still, the loving and the sharing,

Must go on….

To preserve that ancient claim.

Our passion to belong.

PA Wade 1984

 

 

 

Forfeited Love

Love lost, yet, never found.

Discarded after passion’s flare,

For nobler things….

To meet once more,

Our hearts will know.

Eyes will meet, and we will speak,

Without a sound.

 

P.A.Wade

1984

 

 Remembering Heart

My heart feels empty

And yet bursting open.

Over flowing and heavy.

Spilling over with sadness.

I can barely breath

Because of the gripping and dull pain.

It requires tears…

Lots of tears

And sometimes a screaming of disbelief.

My mind and body limp and exhausted.

Can rest and maybe dream…

Until the next time

I remember.
