After reading WhileIWasGone's See Ya, it made me think of this poem I wrote a while back. Enjoy!

Mike

Kissing
my Goodbye

Her breasts were granite stones.
Her mouth was suffocating beauty.
Her touch took bloody root --
red flowers bloomed from her imprint.
Her eyes beheld the pines.
Needles piercing through the sun.
Kissing my Goodbye.
Letting go my sweetest one.

As patterns seem to form
I feel it cold and warm.
-Joy Division

Funny, I have tried to type music into my poetry--I figured out a way to type time signature, half-notes, quarter notes, and whole, but still? I cannot type the "rests" and I've said it a million times it's the silence before the note that makes it sing--you've got that down to perfection. You build so subtly it's startling when you make it tumble down deliberately.

(and I KNOW...I've been neglecting my poet friends...sigh...I'll be back---and? I told ya, send me an url...it may take me a month, but I'll get to it! )

Hugs you...I do hope I have time to make up for lost time...now THERE'S an epitaph..grin--

"making up for lost time"

smiling at K's reply
she too modest, Mike
but, she is keen
and you do make the reader stop
and ponder every scene here
and you're 25?
time to take up
crayons, brian

Goodbye are always sad and you caputed the feeling.

If your afraid of the dark, then why did you come?

And not to worry, Sen. We're all busy except when we're not. Whatever that means.

I like the way you've built up all the descriptions of this lady, only to tell us you are saying goodbye to her.  Good job here.

I have felt this in reality.  Wonderfully written, as usual. I have watched dark passions for some time, and have admired you and Lori's LOVE and POETRY in motion.   What a wonderful thing!!  See.....you never know who might be silently watching the beauty of it all!  Thanks you 2!

Hey, fract. I'm confused by everyone being thrown by the ending -- suffocating beauty is a good thing??? I'm glad you liked the poem.

And Scarlet, thanks for visiting and leaving your reply. I sometimes feel the ghosts of people reading, leaving no response.
