Goodbye My Mammy

* Dedicated to my dearast friend - my mother. A companion through my life who never failed me and never gave up and never stopped loving. She was fan of my work and this site and many of you, so I leave this in stone as a memory for me, her - who knows.



Now you sleep soundly
I am kept awake to sounds
as my heart breaks, held captive and to ransom
in case you in turn wake.
When the winds howl loudly
the creaking of the gates chatter and
will whir in my head still alive with it all,
while you still sleep, sad and profoundly quiet
and I hate the dawn.
Now you sleep soundly
I can cry with your pain and the hurt remains
here so you can sleep soundly.
When through daylight come the teardrops
shed, memories and words, thoughts unsaid, and regrets
burst through prisms of watered coloured lives,
all running down my cheeks with no place to lie now -
No soft hand or lap or comforting whisper,
I mop them up and the air takes all that is left
More tears fall and I catch them all and hold them up
till they run from my hands, remembering
Since you sleep soundly,
These are all I have.

Re: Goodbye My Mammy

I am not going to muck this up with a lot of words... I know the pain you are feeling all too well and you portrayed it beautifully and did her memory justice. The tears carried through was heart wrenching and yet shone bright. I am so sorry for your loss, Anita. I am always here if you need a shoulder. Love you.

She'd be proud. I already told you that you can nudge me any time if you want to talk. Love you, too...

Re: Goodbye My Mammy

Anita (Lubesh), I am certain that your Mum would have loved this dedication in, to, of her memory. And as Vixen and Vorcla has offered, know too that if YOU need me, I am but a few keystrokes away.

Re: Goodbye My Mammy

What a beautiful piece of writing. No doubt your mother would love it. It's beautiful, Lu. As a species, we lose many that are close to us, but few of them affect us like the loss of our mother. I'm very sorry for you loss.
