Poem №003

It’s painful

To be reminded

That I could lose

The flesh and bone

Of you

In an unforgiving

Unimaginable

Instant.

That all of this

Is fleeting.

That one day

My arms could reach

For the comfort of you

And find only

Empty space

Where you once lay

Soft and full

My whole world

Stretched out

Beside me.

It isn’t fair

That love requires

Facing

The most

Unimaginable

Heartbreak.

To love

Heart wide-open

Is to give

The wholeness of self

To what could be,

Will be,

Lost.

So, I look

Into you

Now

In this fleeting

Present moment

Hanging by a thread

In mid air

Heart wide open.

And I find

The place

In you

Beyond flesh and bone

And there

I plant my love

In place space

Never ends.

And I pray

That when we loose

The flesh and bone

Of us

That the seed

Of our love

Will carry on

In the infinity

Of space

That exists

Beyond

Flesh and bone.
