A shivering sun arose ,
It’s embers we’re cold ,
when you said we were finished you powdered you’re nose .
Now here I stand broken and all alone ,
In a space we once called,
“ Our lovely new home “
With unknown guests ,
that peer and stare ,
and fix their eyes on me as if I’m not there .
But I have seen them moving about ,
In chambers and sculleries when the light has gone out .
Suddenly I can feel your breath on my skin ,
musty and rank ,
as the fleeting winds ,
that blow a chill upon my spine ,
and take my breath away in the darkness of time .
My time has gone ,
and so have you ,
and the mornings suns rays bring a damp to th3 dew .
as the branches thicken behind the trees that bring a reddening glow ,
where the sweet Alyssum forever blooms .
As the ravens flap their wings I feel. my heart pumping tight to my skin ,
lost in this dark forest where I thought I knew what was best ?
Then death brought its pungent memories of spring of you and i and a tatty old photograph ,
in a book on a shelf with its pages torn out .
So I light a fire to warm my feet and toes ,,
and a flask of black coffee to face my foes .
But now they have gone and I’m all alone ,
for the ones that once looked just peered and glowed .
Just the warmth of your touch O heaven knows ,
how long I have been awaiting all on my own.
I hear A knock on the door ,
and your cheary smile ?
Now The fires are stoked I guess your not there ,
an open door brings a chill to the air ,
but I can here voices ,
They pull up a chair,
and we spend the night talking just as if you were there .
