I will leave you
to clasp another’s hand
when the grim reaper
issues his summons,
allowing no refusal
or avoidance of his grasp.

I will leave you,
focus on some other face
when time itself
has been erased
and these eyes
can see nothing more.

I will leave you
when these cells
that sing your name
lie silent in my veins,
at the moment that my lungs  
are robbed of breath

unless I can be with you
even after death.

You're not leaving! ~ Over my Light Body! ( or is that "Dead" body?) Well, I prefer my body be Light than dead!

Anyahoo, a little birdie told me that if two people love each other in this life, it can carry over to the next! ~ and that love is heavenly!

I will leave you,
focus on some other face
when time itself
has been erased
and these eyes
can see nothing more.

I will leave you
when these cells
that sing your name
lie silent in my veins,
at the moment that my lungs  
are robbed of breath

===========================

this puts a whole new spin on "hauntingly lovely." .... you write devotion with a powerful pen Ruth-girlie....
this one conjures being carved into skin.
well done groovy gal... and Im giddy seeing another offering. SO off I flit. yaya

one drop, an ocean ... one seed, the forest ... one leaf, the wind ...
~ take only memories ... leave only footprints ~
