A Poem for my Cousins

aunt Midge another casket tolls a parting for the day flowered bouquets for color a lovely vase made for a mother her casket tolls the swell of parting away they wait their dusty turn in solemn winds that blow among the scriptures read through memory's mental pictures that fled a hidden beauty, a beauty on the go they wait, those flowers hear the love you gave longing for you, longing as they yearn they wait for the promise of a mother to return hope swells in sad array, without love they forgave a fleeting breath and sorrow unfathom'd has to cry bearing the death and soul of a mother the loss of a sister, the aunt, the friend of another leaning to love cause love should never die spring shines applauding the reserv'd lands nearby whisking away the lonely sighs the dust on the flowers from nigh and the drear locked in the depth of their eyes Copyright © 2008 by Crystal Kill 1:54 AM - 0 Comments - 0 Kudos - Add Comment - Edit - Remove

NaPoWriMo deleted I deleted you the Line poem the Just leaves the Dangerous for Girls and how murder filled her dreams as the world grew wings I deleted you the Charm the Gnosised and that Pot of Tea drill I deleted what I couldn't feel d e l e t e d because I'm a spoiled visual a kinesthetic junky high on lyrical prose needing your words to hammer grind deep into my soul your rhythmic highs your rhythmic lows your heart and soul poetry and without a brush I want to see your canvas across my dark room and feel the wet grime of your colors f l o e t r y rapping, reaping, seeping between my fingers flushed that unforgettable wit carries me carries the high of this lyrical junky from line to line reading your highs reading your lows reading you like a book through the complexities of all that is horrifying beautiful and p o s s i b l e Copyright © 2008 by Crystal Kill
