Come my love


I woke up and found you at my side
Sleeping, breathing so quietly
I knew it was you by the scent you wore
I also knew you had gone before

As the sun rose slowly and birds woke up
Your eyes opened to look at me
I leaned across to touch your soft skin
"It's time to go" she said whispering

Pulling me by the hand the house we left
As we walked out through the open door
I turned and looked at the bed once more
And saw I lay there dead to the world

"Come my love, quickly for we must away
I have to fetch you at the break of day"
"But there's a poem that's unfinished yet"
How she laughed "Oh darling this is it"

  13. Ah, the unfinished poem falls with a final breath.
    I liked the tale interwoven with this verse; it touches the heart.

  16. Lovely and romantic - though, knowing how I'm "wired", I'm afraid the unfinished poem, would have me turning back. (I have a hard enough time falling asleep with a poem left unfinished. lol)
