Softly With A Kiss
by Kate DemereeClose the door softly
With a kiss before you go
On aching
Wanting
Needs
Many nights
Will know
Off into tomorrow
Tired aching
Heart
Guttering candles
With tiny flames
Burning in the windows
With frost on
Their frames
You do not build
Your dream on me
I can not be there
No robes
Of forever
Will I wear
Yesterdays songs
Loud in my ears
Tomorrows sweet promise
Lies
Beyond a veil
Of tears
So close the door
Softly
Gently
With a kiss
What we do not know
We can never missÂ… 11/05/2003 Posted on 11/06/2003

| Posted by Anne Engelen on 11/10/03 at 04:54 PM Somehow a deeper pain than willing to admit to is pictured here in a softer light. Like keeping a certain distance to prevent from feeling its true depth. Very touching writing! |
