"I’ve nothing more to offer you."
You whispered as you walked slowly past the bed.
I propped my head up in my hands and said,
"You’ve already given me what I needed most."


"But I haven’t given you what you asked for."
And as you sighed, sinking onto the edge of the bed,
I propped myself up and said,
"But you’ve given me what I wanted most."


When every second counts, stop counting.

This is excellent-a few words to show an entire relationship. Excellent.

yes, ya hit me in the solar plexus with this one. :-P

and it reminds me of... well let's just say this is a slice of real life, and i love it.

it's not that the future is near or far...
the future's just so grim.

Truth. Sometimes a poem of yours reaches me so intimately with the absolute, utter truth.

Lovers speaking words
Needing sounds that need no speech
Time does not matter

Nicely said.  Ken


Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
