60 long fruitful years,
Love eternal -
The glue of their existence,      
Forged in a place of hellfire and damnation;
The embers of a better life kept alive
In their hearts, souls and minds,
Amongst the horrors of Auschwitz,
Until they were finally free
To live their hopes and dreams for real.
Inspired by the book The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris, the strength of their love and their re-finding each other made me cry

Poetry has a way of hiding
Itself in a dried up riverbed.
Inspiration of nothingness.
Words at tongue’s tip,
Can’t quite grasp…
And then all of a sudden,
Words flow like the mighty Amazon
During the wettest season,
Tumbling over each other
In their rush to be writ upon the page.
Feast or famine,
All or nothing.
