I touched your face
~ today*
I drew
     the fingers of

     my right hand

         down slowly,

              gently along

             the left side
    
              of your

            beautiful

           face


I cupped your dainty chin
between thumb and forefinger

I willed with all my energy that

you might feel my touch and hear

my heart whisper your name -

"my darling little bird"

~

and I heard you softly say my name ...

"ant..."

"stay with me ant..."

"don't leave me,  please..."


I heard you say that

~ today

when I touched

your beautiful face

in my favourite photograph of you.
When you can't be together - you try desperately to be "together"

The sun sat low on a lavender sky
Gentle its light traced your skin
Falling in love and I don’t wonder why
Lost in your beauty again

Pine needle sonnets now gracefully flow
Symphonies waft through the air
Taking your hand in the essence aglow
Soothing these moments we share

Hear now my song sung of only your praises
Melodically sweet it does play
Concertos whispered in poetic phrases
Softly I send you this day

Harmonic echoes in voices so tender
Now as this day does depart
Waltzing a path tuned of angelic splendor
*Lyrics a’ flow from my heart
Good night beautiful

poetessa diabolica
Your garden was lush
   with poetic wildflowers
yet, darkness swayed its spirit
    'neath teeming salt tear hazes,
  tried to enrich the soil but
    ground cover was defensive,
hardened by winters' of
   contrary disconnectedness
For a good friend's special day...
