Since it's national poetry month and since there is no way I could make a poem a day, I am posting one from last year. I still can't judge if it's good or bad...strong or just maudlin but at least it had a happy ending after all..


If you must go
Then go.
You’d stay with me, I know
If staying was your choice to make
But I don’t wish to hold you here if there is better

But how could there be better?
When every day of here is a union
Hands held
Laughs shared
Loving fiercely, kindly, deeply

Words were spoken
God has joined together
If God joined
Then why can we not stay joined until the last step
Taken together
Hands held
Breath stilled
Heart wide open
Why?

If you must go
Then know I won’t be angry
With you.

But with God I make no promises
Only requests
To let you stay
Make you whole
Not pull my still beating heart in two
And make me live with just the bleeding half
Lying cold in my chest.
