When I am dead, my dearest, Make me a part of your body. Tattoo my words on your memory, My name on your arm. Through you I shall see the shadows Through you I shall feel the rain. When I am dead, my dearest, Go to the river where we knelt That dark dawn and tasted Salt on each other's lips. Look at the pulsing water, the Flickering stone bed, the baby fish. When I am dead, my dearest, Don't die with me! I am the wind now, Cooling your neck at night. If you wake, and feel me Touch your warmth, whisper your Love into the dark. |

Thi has such a lovely haunting quality to it, and with all the tenderness and compassion of a great love too...beautiful piece Severn. :-) ------------------ "We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.....the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?" --John Keating, Dead Poets Society |

I guess I'll have to step into the darkness more often. Thanks DE for giving me that URL. I didn't realize the caliber of talent in here! severn- this tells me that when you die, you really wont, because you will live on in memory if not body. Well done girl! |

SHOCK HORROR! This isn't my work!!!! This is my friend's - we use the same computer occasionally and she musn't have changed to her passwords - Seaangel must take all the credit. She's a damn good writer. But, heh, thanks for the invitation Michael - I'm tempted to post here myself!!!! [This message has been edited by Severn (edited 09-25-1999).] |
