Rose Falcone

My son
I am here
I cannot protect you
From the world.
...

Do you know what you’ve done
To the children you shun
Their sweet hearts you have broken
With the words you have spoken
...

Come a little closer baby
I need to breathe you in
Come a little closer darlin’
I need to feel your skin
...

My sweetest darling dears
how oft Ive shed some tears
looking upon your faces
remembering tender embraces
...

When you were born it was an instant love affair
I rocked you, swaddled you, sang to you,
Read to you and walked you round and round
We played and learned together.
...

Many years have passed,
With feelings deeply buried.
Your incredible persistence abounding,
You find me after all this time.
...

Dont underestimate the power of prayer
Miracles can happen anywhere
With faith the size of a mustard seed
Oh, it'll happen, it will happen indeed.
...

Faith
Hope
Love
Faith prevails
...

You’re so angry
Tension palpable
Afraid to feel
Afraid to be
...

A hand touches the small of my back.
By your gentle touch I know it is you.
You turn me around, caress my cheek.
Strong arms fold me in.
...

My heart physically aches
My body, it quakes

Awful loss that I feel
...

Birthdays come and go
Another day
Another year
What’s really to fear?
...

Roses climb the wall outside your room
Sweet scent floats through the window
Reminding you of me and what you’ve lost
...

Is love a need?
Or is love a want?
What is it we NEED exactly?
...

Impulse strikes hard and fast
Problems and issues of the past
Remain unsolved
And yet
...

I am me again
I shine
Like the sun
With the sun
...

The gypsy’s skirt twirls
Her earrings jangle
Her smile radiates
Her laughter penetrates
...

If anything happened to me
If my body were to break
If my last breath called your name
Would you know?
...

When the days were cold and dreary
When my woeful life was weary
When my heart had been forsaken
When every step seemed mistaken
...

lips quiver yeilding kisses
body shudders with delight
deeper now and deeper still
lost in the passionate heat
...
