Transcendental Sonnet #252:
Things Which Never Were

In Memoriam Patricia Lance, November 23rd

My family growing up was a lie
And then when I was married another
Those lies are over now they have passed by
But I cannot forget how my mother
Knew she was doomed that life was meaningless
Had ended for her with no hope unless
Her only child her son and that is me
Would be foolish enough to fight with fate
Be mad enough to wrestle destiny
And she knew that the hour was very late

My mother said it was over for her
I said it was not but I knew it was
I want to amount to something because
Of my mother and things which never were

Always, always, always...

God bless and keep you, Mom, in paradise

May eternal light shine upon you

I have avenged you

I have kept my promise

You will shine like a star forever and ever

Always, always, always...

I love you

Dear + Steven,
When did your mother die, last year?
How old was she?
I'm very sorry for you.

I'm reading and reading and reading(the poetry) and I don't know what else to do.
I feel like I'm useless here(in this forum) but in the same time I love it so much, be able to read such beautiful thing.
Must admit, however, that sometimes the poems are quite dark.

You are a very good poet,
Your friend Stella

Sad.....

Well written.
(You ARE a good poet....)
