I woke early today rested and content until my feet slipped over to your side of that big cold bed to find no warmth there and then I remembered you're gone but today I didn't cry (mental note: no tears today) instead, I got up turned on all the lights turned up the music made a pot of coffee and sent your boys off to their first day of school funny though- they didn't miss you or realise you were gone until we had no car to drive them in so we walked on this crisp autumn morning and it was beautiful aren't you glad that you've left such an impression on your children? in ten minutes you'll be here to fight to dissect my words and I'll remember where you were when I needed you I'll remember your icy heart and my tears will freeze and I'll give you the gift of experiencing winter in full force |

Heather I, too, am deeply saddened by this turn of events. The poem was powerful, but, oh how I wish you hadn't received the "inspiration" to write it. Good luck to you in whatever happens. |

Oh Heather ... your emotions tug deeply at my heart in this powerful verse. "No tears today" though ... so I'll send you a hug, and wish you a happier tomorrow.  Best wishes, /Kit |

It always amazes me when a talented poet takes gut-wrenching pain and creates something wonderful... you've done that here... (mental note: his loss) |

My thoughts are with you, Heather, and I'm sure no one can portray the ferocity of winter as well as you.....do it! |

Powerful words here, X Angel. He is not worth the tears you cry. I hope your heart heals soon. Best wishes to you. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
