Ethereal dust sprinkled on thy eyes
The reason why it shine, twinkles so bright
Thy hands, soft and smooth, won’t give a fight
Longed to touch it, if time permits, or dies.
Is the night sky comparable to your gaze?
Never, not an inch, for in thy sight I see
My image, so feeble, ugly: wants to flee
What was left in me? Awe and amaze.
Lightning speed how time fleets
Chasing physical enchantment
What was left on her youthful gleam?
Wrinkled, dried face, which I lament.
In stillness of the night, kindness and beauty I crave
Grandmother, I missed you. Soon I’ll visit your grave.

when i read a poem i try to find suspense in it.. your’s has been one of the best free written poems i’ve read.. it kept me captivated until the end when i was like “did i just read this??”
aww that was such a sweet comment 😉
when i read Corey’s topic for his Poetry challenge http://clownponders.wordpress.com/2012/04/20/the-poetry-challenge-week-6-a-thing-of-beauty/, the first person that pops out was my late grandmother, it is dedicated for her, so I’m glad that you’ve been touched by this piece which means a lot to me 😉 thank you so much 😉
Truly “beautiful” and such a special tribute to your Grandmother who is likely beaming as she reads from the heavens…. Great work jymiley!
really?? I could see through your words that she’s very happy! thank you!!!
