VASE AND MEMORY

by

I have come to realize that for every painted art or drawing there’s a story or memory attached to it and I was very keen to know the story behind this beautiful vase you see.

After my husband’s memorial service everyone was distant and as they (Donnie T’s family) left the funeral home, I didn’t even get to keep his ashes or not a single flower from the mountains of arrangements were delivered from all over the world. You see Donnie T Man was very loved by everyone and they loved me for loving him. This vase of flowers is drawn from my memory of the memorial that wasn’t supposed to be a thing. Donnie T’s wishes were no memorial! Not anything. Donna T Lady was very vulnerable at the time shortly after she lost her soulmate.

The vase reminds me of how big my heart is and how much I’ve forgiven myself in the years that have transpired.

 

Love,

I guess I was right to ask if there’s was a memory attached to this vase. You see, as humans we don’t just do anything out of the blues. Even the smallest of things that we do comes with a reason.

  1. a picture of flowers a vase that cannot replace a soulmate’s face
    missing part of WE now and forever all eternity
    etched in mind, another time…
    hand in hand, heart to heart, thinking of you now, the end of before
    a new beginning I abhor
    change at stake, its new not great
    maybe time will lesson the ache
    clinging to beautiful memories tis key
    a painting; a piece of thee
    lovely flowers; a memory for me…

  2. Shared Smiles

    Goodbye sweet tears of us
    graced me with kindness
    such was my life in you
    how much we loved us.

    My days hold you inside
    memory paints you back
    rooms throughout my mind
    I never knew you like now.

    Goodbye my sweet
    our joy a vessel we made
    like a jade vase of smiles
    I saved for yours.

  3. Verse to a Glassy Vase Vignette

    Your beauty endures my woe
    Tho your pedals never go
    forever drinking water
    Orphans of beauty
    Are you truth?
    Sunshine
    Nevermore
    You seek. Yet
    you lift my spirit
    unencumbered, e’re
    my days are numbered,
    you remain for a new woe

  4. In a heart shaped vase
    that sits upon the table
    ashes of your memory
    live on with me here
    Forever captured inside
    lives laughter & smiles
    a little boys dream
    his hope for tomorrow
    You look at me now
    through the child’s eyes
    that carries on your name
    & the love he has for you

  5. The sweet scents
    What you wear
    Revive my soul
    For you touch me
    You body of softness
    Lips of dew
    Kiss like wine
    The juices flow
    As the flame of desire
    It ignites my heart
