silken red
woven thread

fragranced dew
covering you

my heart is dead
lover's empty  bed

crying for you
is all I can do

This is so heart rending for so few words...it's quite moving...

hugs

Strokes of ink, words, dreams like
Waking mountains make intimate conversations
With my shadow

*is in agreement with Severn*  I've always been told that the fewer the words, the more feeling they possess.  I'd never actually seen anything that proved it until now.

I would have to concur with the other replies.  The stanza's are short, but the impact is there.  It's amazing how you can say so much with so little.
to you,
