PERFUMES OF SUMMER PAINS


Perfumes Of Summer Pains 

When icicles hang by the wall that is were we was 
Because of you, in gardens of blossoming flowers  
I ache from the perfumes of spring.  
You are my everything I dreamed . 
I fear no more when you are near , or when I hear  
Your voice on the phone you clam my storm , 
When the wind blows cold its you that takes hold . 
Your love is strong that keeps me moving along , 
I have forgotten your face,  
I no longer remember your hands;  
I have forgotten your voice, your happy voice;  
I have forgotten your eyes.  
Why did you have to die ?  
I needed you in my life . 
Like a flower to its perfume,  
I am bound to my vague memory of you. 
Your love I hold and I had never let go , 
I was young and know I am old hungering for you  
To call me home !  
I live with pain that is like a wound that cut me deep within , 
like climbing vines on melancholy walls.  
I will never ever forget your love ,  
Your love still lives within me . 
yet I seem to glimpse you in every window I walk by  
Your face appear in a blink of my eyes by city lights , 
Because of you, the heady perfumes of summer pain me;  
You are the love of my life and why did death take you from me ? 
Because of you, I again seek out the signs that precipitates desires:  
Shooting stars and falling objects of our love of long ago .

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
