Sage and Simmering CeleryThe house quiets itself, slowly. I kiss your head with tender traces, nesting my face against you as your sleeping body warms my own. Sage and simmering celery... Thanksgiving dinner and your green eyes, now closed to mine. And in the quiet house, as you dream and I kiss you, all I can think of is how will I breathe when you are gone?  Claire |

Claire~ Soft and tender with memory. This one breathes from your heart. You have the soul of a truly passionate poet. Beauty in every sigh. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

You are able to infuse such feeling in your poetry, with so few words you say so much, you are truly talented in your ability to write such beautiful verse. |
