Know, then
That even as I die
You are killing me

My tongue searches
These dry, cracked lips

For the last vestige
Of that final, bitter
Kiss

Ouch! I hope this isn't true. But, still...it makes for a great write! Chris

Wranx,

You didn't mince any words, for certain. Touching in mind, heart and gut.


Hugs, Pat

I close my eyes and there in the shadows I see your light
You come to me out of my dreams
Across the night

Oh my. This is definitely a 'wranx'...a new poetic form of poetry that kicks you in the gut and makes your heart hurt.


I like it.
