Internal Photographs Poem by Nika McGuin

Internal Photographs

Rating: 5.0


When we are together
my heart is light
my lungs fill with laughter
but my brain is consumed
with photographing every moment
for our time together grows short

You're going to miss me
when I'm gone, I know
I'm going to miss you more
being the one that's gone
I'm going to miss everything
I'm going to miss everything

but you most of all
I'm going to miss you

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I dedicate this poem to my mother. I'm moving, leaving the country. There will be lots of events and just cultural things that I'll miss; but more than anything I'll miss her.

With new hopes and dreams, you are moving into another country and clime! Naturally you will miss your dear mother and your mother will miss you! Her missing will be definitely more as you are likely to be soon absorbed in many events that await you! Your mother on the other hand is in the same setting, but without you! A lovely tribute to your mother which I am sure will be greatly appreciated by her! Congratulations on this poem chosen as the poem of the day!

Thanks so much for your lovely comment Valsa. And you're right, I hadn't thought of it that way. It will probably be much harder for her than it will for me. In fact she's made me promise to call her three times a day! lol

Nika, this is such a beautiful heart-felt tribute to your mother. Congratulations on a very well-deserved Poem Of The Day. Although you will miss her, and she will miss you, you both have the advantage of modern technology. Unfortunately, I didn't have that luxury when my mother was alive. All the best in your new life!
