The whistling wind

A man looses the battle of custody of his child and is left alone on the streets feeling heartbroken.

The wind blows through my ears

Making me sniff and shed my tears

Through the pain I feel hollow, an empty shell

There's no one even willing to listen and hear me tell

If life right now was like a box of chocolates it is bitter sweet

Seeing my son once more would've been such a treat

I can't help but wonder what it could have and shuld have been like being with them again

I can never go back though, she's beaten my heart black and blue

Just like the eagle flying high and true

I'm a freebird. Flying above the white, fluffy clouds.

All alone pondering, while I listen to that cold, whistling wind

You have expressed the feeling well. My estranged son, Dennis Shanaberg of this site, was taken from me by his alleged father on Christmas Eve, 1992. I have never seen him since. My ex-husband alleged that I was a drug addict and that I had abandoned the children; further, he had no idea where the court could contact me. I have never used drugs. I took them for a Chritmas Eve visit and arrived five minutes late, because I was wrapping the presents that still remain. He knew right where I was. He took two daughters and a son from me; my heart and my life. Even better, I have been paying child support for them, all along, which I am sure that they do not know about. I was to poor, with the child support being taken, to fight. Great write!

graceful in melancholy ways, blasting in imagery and well expressed

[Coyote Poetry]

A very sad poem. I have known men who have lost rights to their children. Your words are true. I believe even worst for most men. To not be able to see your children grow and become stronger leave a empty spot. A excellent poem.

This was a well written piece. It was also beautiful. I love the emotions within this piece as well...and the flow. I also think the imagery is great. I don't see anything wrong. Keep up the good writing. :)

Written with such feeling and emotion. Your rhyming is good. There is a spelling error but that is no biggie as the story penned in this poem is so compelling. Well done. Keep on penning!

[John Faulkner]

I can feel the anguish in your words. It appears you are about to go on another journey...perhaps a new beginning..

Fabulous piece
