Love me Like There is no Tomorrow Remember when we were new you loved me with freckles and pale skin in the splash of discovery you dripped your blond laughter into my desperate and I curved around your enthusiasm throwing away buckets of gone by for you loved me like there was no yesterday. We have become a cloth now intricate and fragile with time threaded with this dawn and dusk where we have built trust I can hear you playing in my head long after together has bathed us and even when I sleep I reach across the gorge that takes you flying somewhere else and touch your bruised remember that sleeps with us Cumbersome life weighs on our wings now and takes our wonder like a soft blue egg and threatens to just let it lay in chambers where no joy is made and the wings beat us down to cower in the fear of how Love me like there is no tomorrow darling lock me into seasons spring whisper your breathe on curving ever where the circle in our ring begins and ends ---8-01 |

Martie..I'm so pleased you reposted this beautiful piece. One day...if only...I could write as well as you! I especially love the first stanza... speaking about when love was new.. it is like a breath of springtime air. Enjoyed so much sweet lady... Into my library it goes! ~Hugs & Smiles, Nancy~ ~ Trace my body with your words.. |

This is classic Martie poetry...a perfect example of what sets some writers so far above the crowd....and a perfect example of why we fell in love with your words so long ago.  |

You know this actually brought tears to my eyes Martie. Almost every time I read a poem of yours I wonder what class you took of English as mine was sure different. How truly loving you are and I would say you are both two very lucky souls that connected. This was lovely beyond words. ~ The soul lies buried in ink that does not flow ~ |

Martie - what a wonderful poem - you express things in ways most of us cannot and thus say things most of us can only dream - Paul |
