Come Away With Me

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies

I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountain top
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me

Poem by Helen

A Ghost
 

Walking 

quiet tree-lined trails

shadowed in your memory,

I feel you here

reaching for me

just beyond the trees-

wanting.

My name

whispers from your lips

as the wind

moves in the trees.

I turn,

shadows move,

your ghost

follows me.

My favourite place

now feels cold,

empty of the warmth

once held.

Vacant...

cold.

Come to me...

walk again in the sun

with me at your side,

share the shadows,

bring me peace,

bring me... you.

I miss you.

Poem by Helen

Wishing On A Star
 

I gaze up at the sky each night

   and find the brightest star.

It's always waiting there for me

   so close, but yet so far.

The star winks in the evening sky

   and reaches out to me.

It magically appears each night

   for all the world to see.

I've wished upon this special star

   my whole life through, it seems.

I've closed my eyes and made my wish

   of hopes, and plans, and dreams.

And then, one day I got my wish

   for I finally met you.

You are that someone special

   who's made all my dreams come true.

So now whenever we're apart

   I find that same bright star.

It makes me feel so close to you

   no matter where you are.

Poem by Helen

 Last Good-Byes
 

I still hear you laughing,

I still hear your cries,

But now all I remember,

Are our last good-byes.

I wish I'd have said this,

When you were still here,

Then I'd have known you were listening,

Known you were near.

But now you are gone,

This is my last chance,

These are my last words,

On our romance.

I wish I could take back our arguments,

And make it all good,

No one can ever replace you,

No one ever would.

I can't make you realise,

How much I love you,

You had so much more life to live,

So much more to do.

You wished to see the world,

Now you can... where you are,

Your wish has come true,

But heaven is so far.

My wish was to see the stars,

I told you, in our last good-byes,

You granted my every wish,

As I saw them in your eyes.

Poem by Helen

One More Day
 

I had a wish for one more day

that our time would just stand still

but our time together has run out

it was out of our hands... this was God's will

I am broken but not angry

it's just so hard to let you go

love can make you selfish

but pain can make grow

I shall treasure every moment

every minute that we shared

I'll keep them locked in a special place

hidden beneath my tears

I will be strong, and you'll be proud

for my strength has come from you

unconditional was love

the kind only known by few

In this end comes a beginning

for we will never again be apart

your memories will live through me

as your love lives in my heart

Together we weep as one

your tears fall from my eyes

you whispered the day had come

it was time to say, "good-bye"

How could you go

when there's so much I need to say

grant me this one wish-

please give me one more day

So many years I let slip by

so many pages left unread

the love I kept inside

are the words left unsaid

A picture of your face

in a frame within my mind

timeless are the memories

of the love you left behind

I'll take you with me- 

beside me is where you will stand

I'll never again walk alone

for we'll be walking hand and hand

I had a wish for one more day

that our time would just stand still

I realize now, in the love you gave,

my wish has been fulfilled. 

Poem by Amla Mazumdar 

Nothing I say or do will bring him back...

and nothing I say or do can take him away from you.

He lives in your hearts, your memories.

and will remain there so long as you live.

The first day you saw him as an infant,

the last day you bid farewell,

the moments in between

of laughter and tears...

Arguments, words of love,

even his touch

No one can take them away...

least of all death.

Time is a healer they say,

But what is there to heal?

Nick is in a happier world

where no harm can come to him

Yet he remains as close to you as before.

Nothing has changed nothing ever will.
