Fleeting Echoes: A Melancholic Elegy

Inspiration from Vera Lynn’s “We’ll Meet Again”

 

We'll meet again, in memories' embrace,
Where cherished moments dwell, in time and space,
Though parted by fate, ans life's cruel demands,
In remembereance, we'll linger, holding hands.

Through tear-stained recollections, we'll find solace,
For in grief's embrace, we seek a fragile solstice,
But let not false hope sway, for truth must prevail,
As we navigate the depths of heartfelt travail.

We'll meet again, in whishpers of the wind,
As fleeting echoes of love, forever chagrined,
In each passing season, a reminder, bittersweet,
That time moves on, and hearts quietly retreat.

No promises of reunion, nor grand illusions,
But tender reflections, bound by life's conclusions,
For though we yearn for presence, that cannot be,
In our hearts, dear souls, forever you'll be.

So let us mourn with grace,, embrace the sorrow,
For in loss, we find strength to face the morrow,
In this elegy we scribe, withh words so true,
May our love endure, eternal and through.

Kindness Unbound: A Sister’s Resolve

Prompt: A older sibling a girl defending her little brother from bullies. Telling them this “As a gentle reminder, I am choosing kindness. This means I’m more than happy to explore other options if I feel the kindness is not working out. You see I am not committed to kindness. There is no ring on my finger in regard to kindness. I will jump the kindness ship with such ease you’ll wonder if I was ever on board the fucking ship”

Author Note: Wanted to write about my sister for once.

In the realm where shadows prey,
A sister stands, fierce in her display,
To protect her brother from the cruel affray,
She wields her words, in a poetic sway.

"As a gentle reminder," She begins to say,
"I am choosing kindness, come what may,
But hear me well, for I'll swiftly convey,
If kindness falters, I'll find another way.

No binding vows hold me to this creed,
No ring on my finger, no binding need,
I'll abandon the ship with incredible speed,
Leaving doubts behind, you'll wonder, indeed.

For in my heart, love's flame shall ignite,
But my gentle resolve will never take flight,
I'll stand as a shield, a beacon of flight,
Defying the darkness, defending what's right.

I'll weave words that pierce, like a warrior's lance,
Confronting the bullies, I'll give them a chance,
But if they persist in their cruel advance,
I'll embrace strength's fury, they won't stand a chance.

For brother dear, I'll fight till the end,
With sisterly love, our spirits shall blend,
Together we rise, our bond will transcend,
defying the tormentors, a message we'll send.

So hear me now, with every word that drips,
From my lips, like honey, or a fiery eclipse,
I am his guardian, with a resolve that equips,
To protect and defend, as our kinship eclipses.

With kindness I stand, my heart shining bright,
But should it falter, I'll take up might,
For in this sibling bond, in love's sacred rite.

So bullies beware, before you sail astray,
I am a force, with words I convey,
I'll shield my brother, come what may,
With kindness or might, I'll lead the way."

Release, Love’s Silent Farewell

Poem request from JL: Let her go

purpose: It was never meant to be ( need something relatable)

 

In twilight’s gentle hue, my heart does weep,
A melody of longing, a secret I keep.
For in this labyrinth of desires, I know,
Maybe it’s time to let them go.

Like whispered sighs upon the summer breeze,
Their essence lingers, igniting memories.
Yet fate’s cruel hand has marked our separate ways,
Where star-crossed dreams must yield to brighter days.

Their laughter, a symphony that charmed my soul,
Their touch, an elixir that made me whole.
But destiny’s veil obscures what could be,
A love unbound, forever out of reach for me.

With each stolen glance, a bittersweet ache,
My heart’s compass yearns for a path I can’t take.
For reasons hidden in life’s complex design,
Our love, forbidden, cannot intertwine.

And so I stand upon this precipice of letting go,
Releasing tender tendrils, aching to grow.
Though tears may stain this tapestry of the past,
I’ll hold the echoes of love that forever last.

In realms untrodden, my heart shall mend,
Embracing the whispers of what might have been.
For love, it dances freely, unbound and free,
Even if it’s not meant for you and me.

So let them soar, like birds in the sky,
Across vast horizons, where dreams never die.
And I, with gratitude, shall set them free,
To find their happiness, far from the reach of me.

For in surrender lies a quiet strength,
A selfless act that spans the breadth and length.
And as I bid farewell to what my heart yearned,
New chapters shall unfold, and lessons be learned.

Maybe it’s time to let them go, I say,
To forge my own path, come what may.
For love’s true essence, in freedom we find,
A chance to heal, to grow, to leave behind.

So as the sun dips below the twilight’s glow,
I release their memory, my heart’s bittersweet woe.
With hopeful steps, toward the unknown, I tread,
Embracing the beauty of a love that can’t be said.

If you’re going through tough times missing a loved one.

When someone dies their candle never truly goes out. It may flicker and fade, but it never truly extinguishes. Memories and emotions intertwine, creating a sacred space within us where the essence of their existence resides. The warmth of their touch lingers, gentle and comforting, as if they were still here. embracing is in their arms.

In the depths of our souls, their words echo like a familiar melody, guiding us through life’s intricate paths. Their wisdom continues to inspire and shape our choices, reminding us of the profound impact they had on our lives. even in the absence of their physical presence, their voice resonates within our hearts,
offering solace during moments of uncertainty.

And oh how their laughter lives on! its contagious joy fills the air, enveloping us with a sense of mirth and happiness. we can almost hear it, dancing upon the winds of cherished memories, bringing forth a smile that mirrors theirs. Their laughter, forever etched in our minds, becomes a precious treasure we hold dear, a reminder of the light they brought into our lives.

Continue to Rest in Peace Pop. You were a great brother to me and for that, I am eternally grateful. Though your physical form may have left his world, your spirit remains intertwined with mine. The love and bond we shared transcend the boundaries of time and space. As I navigate life’s journey, I will carry you with me, drawing strength from the memories we crafted together.

Your candle may have dimmed, but its essence continues to illuminate my path. Farewell, dear brother. May your soul find eternal peace as your legacy lives on in the hearts of those you touched.
