How Loud this Beating How loud this beating through hazy breath while I listen glued to his chest as songs leak out and drain into my ear and this pretty peach sheet so comfortable and reassuring says this is just a day but I can hear dying and its sound slices through me a foreign invasion named dread for it is cleaving and gaining strength from devouring treading through the hope light that blazed just a moment ago when he told me that love in all its strength and infinite foreverness is and will be in this heart that quickens trying to outrun time and I think that it is this sweet warmth that I want of love not some vapor that clings to my dreams and leaves me longing and he just smiles this tenderness that reaches as I soak his shirt with silent tears. |

Martie~ It can't be easy dear friend. I know your friend is glad to share your tears as well as having shared your love. You're remarkable. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Hearts, full of sadness, full of love, weep together. With these words, you've captured my heart's song, Martie, and I thank you. Sending warm hugs and understanding... Claire |
