'Flowers for the Dead'

You’ve had your way
and I’ve had mine
and something about sitting
on a park bench in the cold
reminding me of the scent
of your hair
and the look you gave me
nine months ago while
saying goodbye and
closing the car door,
something like waiting
for the wind to pick up,
something like a slow
sad song, a kind of
-blue-
in green, among the snow
and soft boughs
of a swaying maple,
thinking that your eyes
or something in your smile
might ease the ache
like sipping a fine
red wine
into the night.

this just sort of stops you, and holds your heart in pause....it's beautiful

I am stunned. I've definitly got to write this one down...Right after I try to write something of my own...I think you just may have given me the certain taste of inspiration that I've been looking for!

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
