Your harsh felt words
Burn my heart
And set my soul
Aflame
Leaving ashes to scatter
Upon the universe

Life is so precious
With all of its ups and downs
Don't let it slip by

You whittled away
My hopes my dreams and my joy
Leaving the remains

No alarm needed
A cloud burst of red and orange
Gently entered the room

The sad feel of
Aloneness
Transforming as others
In groups or pairs
Laughingly rush by
The happy feel of
Aloness
Transforming as others
In groups or pairs
Quickly  , quietly disappear
Now happy thoughts
And happy feelings
Can collect

Today I bled blue
Poems inked upon my bare arms
Await translation

And I'll  wait
For you
In the fluttering
Of butterfly wings
A symphony
Of birds
Deer that  walk
Upon your grave
Laughter Echoing
All about
And a handkerchief
In your pocket
Stolen dreams
Buses to catch
Recipes to share
Books to talk about
Kisses and hugs
Tears and laughter
Love to go around
