Lament for His Daughter
Where are you, child of mine?
The shadows of this
long afternoon
stretch before me
like some frightening thing.
A chill is in the air.
Still, I await you here
at the end of day
knowing you’ll never come.
You know I would have loved you.
You were my dreams
that never came true.
Where are you, my child?
Why were you never born?
The old man who would be your father
is dying.

You know I would have loved you.
You were my dreams
that never came true.
Where are you, my child?
Why were you never born?
The old man who would be your father
is dying.

Such a poignant longing.....throughout his lifetime, his ultimate wish never granted....
With this piece, your pen weeps...the sadness leaves me with tiny heart-cracks, and the emotional impact is like a serrated knife slicing away small slivers of my soul. You have created a character whose suffering is so real....i just want to gather him in for a tight, comforting hug,
Eyes brim-full with this one!
I am glad to see you posting once again!! Here, deep in the underground, you, and your poetry have been truly missed!
A warm welcome back!
