shana

your e:mail not replies,
your phone never answers,
where have you gone now?
where have you gone my fairy girl?

i walked with you as lover and friend.
your playful smile was mine to caress.
your figure was mine to envelop.
only you knew me as i did.
twin souls, you called us, connecting at such a deep level.
candle light and a passionate embrace was you favorite way to greet me.

when you were low, you'd call
and i'd give you silliness to uplift your world.
nothing made me happier, my playful friend.

i keep waiting to hear your voice again,
half expecting my phone to ring with love's embrace on the ID.

no farewell? no last words before you turn to lilies?
no last embrace? no final laughter to send me on my way?
how can i continue through each day without your smile?
you will ever be my fairy girl.





you lived your life like a lavender rose,
beautiful, uplifting and transient.
like james dean and marilyn, your idles,
now you share their seat in immortality.

your laugh, your smile, your deep green eyes,
forever will they be a part of everyone who knew you.

friendship and support you gave freely to all.
the queen of a thousand greeting cards,
touching so many with kind words and dancing doodles.
your friends aspire to be like you one day,
bettering themselves now that you have gone away.
200 stood at your last reckoning,
kind words and tears were given by all.

your canine friend sits and waits for your return.
what should i tell him? when will that be?

you will ever be my fairy girl.






in memory of shana rosenberg
july 21, 1973 - january 14, 2006

shana would tell me over and over that the last 2 years of her life were the happiest times in her life. i'm glad i was able to be apart of her happiness, even though it was cut short. she was just about to be married and couldn't have been happier. not many people can die happy. i'm so glad i was able to know her and to love her while she was still here.

shana will be sorely missed by all who have ever known her. she gave something special to everyone she met and knew. she gave me smiles and playfulness and a connection between 2 people that rarely exists on earth. i loved her and i never stopped loving her and i never will. in my heart she will remain, a lavender rose blossoming with my every breath. her petals shall never fall from my heart, for eternity she shall remain.

i love you shana, we all do,
shaggy
