Bridge Tender

I saw you
as I slipped
across the creaking
wood you pushed
me onto striking
match in hand
that became the
blaze behind me
and now you
keep calling me
from the bank
where you reside
and wonder why
there is distance

This makes me feel faint, I am afraid of the height you take me sometimes.

To have lived the dream of a love so true...

Wow...deep.

I always enjoy the messages within your poetry.

This one is a keeper.

Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.

Helen...This hit me like a knife in the heart. You sure the title shouldn't be Burning Bridges? Paul
