Still Sober

sixty eight days, eleven hours
and counting
a thousand regrets, tearful nights
still sober

troubles seem like decades away
distant cares
a story of grief chokes me with every breath that I take
observing the world through a lifeless curtain of sorrow

I mourn for you loved me as your own
I cry in acknowledging that i can never repay
a shadow of pensive gloom a wretched soul I have become
suspended at this point in my life
all events at a standstill

clean hands clean heart
I want to live again
tuck away all our memories into that little corner of my heart
I would go to hell and back just to know that you are right where you belong

and we will meet again
because we never had the chance to say our last goodbyes

A Question For You All

Have you ever had a feeling
So natural, so pure
That it’s no use concealing
Because you are so sure
It’s what is right, it’s what is good
An unquestionable truth
That spans a lifetime, as it could
Be felt from old age back to youth

Have you ever had a feeling
That could soften up your heart
Or tear it down and, reeling
Quickly rip your world apart?
Because it is so deep inside
It’s coming from your very core
For in your heart and soul reside
That which lasts forevermore

Have you ever had a feeling
That no logic can explain
Yet makes itself revealing
In your happiness and pain?
From times when you’re ecstatic
Or down in misery
A feeling so sporadic
As the wandering winds may be

Have you ever had a feeling
So powerful, so great
That you can’t be stopped by anything
And you facilitate
Abilities you didn’t know
You had until the time you knew
The feeling, that which made you grow
Taller than what’s blocking you
Have you ever had a feeling
With the softness of a cloud
That lifts you through the ceiling
And can make you sing out loud?
It brings that look upon your face
That melts the hearts of others
And can bring the dearest true embrace
From strangers, sisters, brothers…

Have you ever had a feeling
That is widely known as ‘love’
Felt between all beings
And in Heaven up above
Have you ever had a feeling
So innocent, so true
Because I have, I’m now revealing
It’s what I feel for you….

…Lavender!

P.S. Lots of people have been telling me that I haven't written any new poetry since the last.. Well I couldn't because I guess I have still to deal with some grief so here's one from a fellow poet, one out of my personal favourites..
