Agape Mou

Published by jodapoet at 10:52 am under Poetry, Writing Edit This

Agape
for Pierre

My heart summoned you
at an early age not yet knowing love.
Sensual whispers, warm rains
shower my body and soul with your being.
When you spoke, I could not speak
for words escaped me.

You sang
strumming blood tears on your bouzouki
year after year lost in Rebetiko.
Yet life your muse,
music your passion.

Too young
I could only listen;
rhythms burning my very core.
Your melancholy eyes hypnotized my essence
a captive trance,
nirvana.

Fate
years later realized.
Now a woman
we shared love,
requited passion, unrestrained.
Boundless infinity together
a moment in time.

Soon thereafter you were gone.
Suddenly your last breath stolen away,
gone too soon.
I now see those melancholy eyes
within the wind
amongst the trees along the shore
within my soul;
I love you still,
Agape mou…

    It was o’er twelve years ago
    much more I made a friend
    we became good ones not by chance
    a person told me then
    He said, “Hey__ this is __”
    and wanted us to be
    as he was oh so talkative
    twas I though strange to he.
    He and us spoke at playground
    so many years ago.
    The times he spoke I reacted
    and wanted to fit in oh.
    I walked and said things I regret
    it caused quite laughter and
    It made them chuckle; so amusing
    the days ran darker then.
    It was many years later as
    my friends became family
    I speak to them almost a day
    when I could think of them (I can_)
    Now when I think of those days
    I think of how things changed
    It could be great and fun as days
    when times were laughter refrain
    Now that I hope God won’t take you
    Oh just please not yet’
    You are so young older than me
    but please I hope that’s not set
    I thought of the thankful time
    you recovered and felt great
    You made a poem rhyme I read
    I cried- your heart changed fate
    You told and felt so different
    at least you know the Lord
    So the day I hope it isn’t soon
    tell Him. . . You love the word.

    God bless ya. Get better…..
