in death
my heart
the sun denied
you to me

in life
my smile
the moon
shone not

please touch
you sighed
the rain
was gone

parched waiting
(wake please)
tearless
I cried

Lovin' your style...and as for the poem itself it was great.   In a way I can relate to what you expressed and it made me think which is always a plus.

Portia, I also liked the style very much, and the imagery was fantastic.

Thank you all, very much. The funny thing is, this isn't my normal style at all. I am long winded by nature. This one was really more like a spark that fell upon me rather than one I lit. A lot of my writing is like that lately though.

I do appreciate all of your comments and thoughts. Thanks again.

Portia, what a piece!
It left me guessing as to your meaning.
Are you mourning a lost lover?
Or are you asleep and dreaming all of this and wishing to wake?
Or are you talking about someone who is unreachable?
Or none of the above?

It was literally a dream in which I lost someone very close to me. When I woke I was as sad as I had been in the dream. It was very hard to shake. This was the last of it coming out.

(argh. This was NOT supposed to be my hundredth post. shriek!)

I too found the style intriguing and tending to spark thoughts, ideas, connections - very sparse - challenging, wistfull...

In your reply you said:

"This one was really more like a spark that fell upon me rather than one I lit."

That's a lovely way to decribe it. (It also describes how most of my things arrive...)
