#sodden
sodden cheeks
drenched in sorrow's repine
the drops fell
with a saddening gush
little by little
the sides of the
face felt less wet
as the air of solace
toweled the harrowed skin
for an age
drab raining clouds
prevailed
each day the tourment
of loss being there to
remind
of a suffering ache
of the stress in agony
of the constant wailing
not on the wane
out of the dark pall
of demise
emerges
the bright sun's light
reconciling
the hours of grief

She plucked his fingernails
gently out,
he loves me,
He
loves
me
not..
The pollen of love filtered from
everyone discarded..
Pulses raised with
each one
harvested.
The dander was sodden,
but still she needed to
know..
Does he love me, does he not...
And after every petal was gently
discarded,
You thought that the only way
to no was to cut the stem..
Looking to his surroundings,
a jar of nails...
How many had been planted here
before..
Like a daffodil popping off,
she was out cold..
He'd been like a seed floating in the air,
what some would catch to place a wish.
his was to land upon her jaw.
He fell,
the roots that bonded him fallen.
And he ran out in to the wilderness.
Floating in and out of consciousness,
but he was free..
