    About this ebook

    Poetry is one of the great avenues in expressing our emotions, feelings and everything we go through. In this book, you'll get a glimpse of the author’s past as he shares his experiences on life, family, love and the heartbreak of divorce.

    Poems, Tears and Heartache is a good release for people who have gone through loss of love. This may bring out the hidden memories you’d locked away but will definitely help you feel better—because you are not alone.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Nero fiddled as Rome burned

      And I, when my world went up in flames?

      I did something just as useless

      I wrote poems.

      Marie was 20 when we met, we were engaged in 6 weeks and married the next year. We were married for 6 and a half years and we had two beautiful daughters, Renee and Samantha. Renee was four and Sammy two when Marie wanted a separation, she told me on Christmas eve and I left on morning of Christmas day. I was going to stay for Christmas day for the girls but couldn’t take the holiday atmosphere when I felt so much shock and depression. I stayed awhile in the area hoping and praying Marie would change her mind but when it became too painful to stay I left for the North to work driving trucks and heavy machinery. The North was where a lot of men ran to and I guess still do. I wrote most of these poems in the truck at work, I felt so much sadness and loss - they came very easy to me. One or two I even wrote more or less in my sleep. I’d wake in the early hours, write some lines on a piece of paper next to the bed and awake in the morning to find a poem I didn’t even have to change and could hardly remember doing it. Some of the more emotional ones were written in a few minutes, as quick as I could write the words down, they emerged. It took a long time to get over my loss.

      My marriage is over. My Marie wants a separation. I cannot understand. I do not believe it’s happening. How could I have been so blind? Did she hide her feelings so well, or didn’t she know what was happening herself? I try to think back, to try to work out where things went wrong. I’ve been putting my thoughts into poems—at first to show Marie I understood or at least thought I did. Then after I realized there was no chance, I continued writing to get my emotions into words. It was an outlet I needed, I found writing my emotions in poem form as the events were happening was better than normal writing as I could say what I really felt and meant without it sounding too corny.

      I think how ironic life is. I wrote this poem several months ago to give Marie on our wedding anniversary. I wrote to tell her how much I loved her. She will now never read it.

      I’d like to write you words of love,

      Have emotion pour from my pen,

      I’d like to write the words I feel and have them come from a heart that is open,

      It will be easy to write these words to you,

      the emotion of love is filled to the top,

      I could draw from it forever and the flow would never stop,

      So to want to say from my heart, words that are true,

      I love you,

      I really and truly,

      Love you.

      I
