Emptiness comes so quickly
Wednesday, 4. November 2009, 06:53:19
Dedicated to Sumiko Moriyama lee
who was greatly loved but in one
lapse of carelessness is passed away...
emptiness comes so quickly
uninvited, it causes a rift
in the heart
a long desert empty
destitute, and devoid
of all things giving
heartache comes so quickly
uninvited, just idling away
precious hours
tears they come so quickly
they pour into the void saltiness
stinging the eyes of grief
vacant memories is all you
can be now,a collection of
memories we sadly miss
blank stresses the absence of something
something precious that
took up that space
no more the arm to embrace
no more the warmth of beating
heart and gentle gesture
rendered now beyond our midst
beyond where we cannot travel
cold cold space
how I long to fill the vacuum
once again of one so gentle
natured
guilt it comes so quickly
aching and gutting every nerve
deadening all the joyous senses
that no longer have a place
to abide and regret it fights
for a corner of tenancy
grief it comes so quickly
and nestles as a trio that
overwhelms the lamenting heart
If I could a thousand times
change that which has passed
then you would be here and not missed
If I could a thousand times
take your place then I could
easily live with that
but now have to live with
the empty arms, and empty heart
that you once filled

Sumiko Moriyama Lee - Passed away November 2009
from heat stroke - only one year old -
a unique sweetness who deserved better,
who brought joy into our otherwise mundane
lives, greatly loved by "Baby Boy" who may miss you
more than all the rest and hasnt quite figured
out what has changed or why your not here
anymore....
