Poetry list
personal passion
our kisses lasted
all day and all
night and even
now across the
chasm of death’s
departure they
burn on – warming
my chilled living
lighting the
shadowy days of
grief caressing
me into the
passionate love
we made and
gave each other
as we surfed the
breakers of this
life’s ocean of
passion it is
more than memory
as we never let
go of each other
falling over the
precipice of
consuming consummation
fearlessly falling
never landing never –
only perpetual
union where flesh
was just a chapter
of the word who
makes all things
for ever for
nothing
