Poetry list
37
yes thirty seven
years and five
days
of marriage
a belonging
fusion
passion
that made one
life two
people
with sparks of
joy and difference
extraordinary
depth
and an eternity
blessed in our
midst
and now its
gone
till death do us
part
so real
final
but god is
relationship
and this
absence
emptiness
so painful
and disfiguring
no longer
knowing who
I am
for I am
lost forever in
you
that is
the meaning
of love
and to it
there is no
end
each step
now is
beyond
comprehension
all thanks
for
37
