Poetry list
insufficiency
you have your memories
kind people say
but as frail flesh
that’s not enough I
yearn for your voice
and touch your eyes
in mine our bodies
synchronised in
complementarity
our minds seeking
meeting in our
glorious and vexing
differences our souls
entwined and fused
bringing a dimension
of freedom and bliss
below the struggles
of existence and
the ever–changing scenes
of life a drama lived
not only in this world
but committed and
already beyond in
the realm of the
ineffable the love
and power making
our something out
of nothing
and nothing is where
I feel and am without
you yet in that
nothing you are
there with the
nothing who is divine
help and mercy
is my plea in
the ashes of my
ardent glowing
thanks and
passion
