The loose unwrap

  of dream
     came fallen those hours ago
       lack lustre midnight
         half way between one

To shiver in the shrill alarm
  of waking
though from nightmare
  is liberatingly obscene

Bones shook

   for all that I could not weep
       finding ghosts do not long
           for human touch
              but foolish I for theirs

Have I ever told you I would kill for you muse....
good grief I love the way you write.

Words break into splinters on the pages I write
If I lost you I don't know what I'd do ...
Burn forever where the flame turns blue

I happen to be listening to Norah Jones now, and I love this particular verse, coupled with your poem:

"I need no soft lights to enchant me
if you'd only grant me
the right
to hold you ever so tight
and to feel in the night...the nearness of you..."

Hugs gemma.

and yes, he says this is me:

"crooked little smile on her face
tells a tale of love that's all her own..."

spinning laughing dancing to her favorite song--she's a little girl with nothing wrong and she's all alone.

damn gemma. Thank you.
