A new life....

Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Softly I wave good-bye
To the man of my dreams in the western sky.

For an online love that can never be
A broken family would result
And parent less children
Heartbreaking times simply beyond me

But one sided it was
Sad to have lost to love
Then to have never
Broken like a bird with nowhere to fly

A brand new man has come my way
And with him I will be
Love him not and knows it he
Both out of love but in need

Of each other to cure our past
And life worth living again
Will be as bright
A rainbow to follow we have

Hope is never lost so is said
My man will be only mine
For I cannot share
Though love so true

Will be mine again
Not completing me
From all chosen a husband
Complementing the vow

As I await to be in your arms
And be finally yours for real
Papers needed come to end
And our journey to commence

A true wife and partner
You can count on
You a husband I will embrace
Love you I will with all respect

Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Gently I wave my hand to the past
Not even a wisp of ever having met will I bring away

To my mummy....

For, until I depart, I will always remember you, my dear mummy.

Woke up this morning
Dragged myself to the kitchen
Poured a lukewarm cup of coffee
And slumped my shoulders over it.

Lost myself in my thoughts:
The chances I had taken,
The dreams never realized,
All the times I was mistaken.

As tears warm up my coffee
Wrapped in self-pity I wonder:
My broken marriage,
The wasted time,

The wrong paths.
I miss my mummy
Whom I'll never have again.

How sad it is that I no longer feel your touch.

No longer will I feel the warmth of your hugs.
Your kisses placed gently upon my cheek.
Your hands caressing my hair.

Oh, for so many years I have wept.

If only once I could call you and hear your reply.
You are my reminder that life should never be taken for granted.
You are my reminder that above all else life should be cherished.
Your love will always be eternal.
