from beginning to end and back again



I held your hand in times of pain
We fought together with me the feathered mane
And you the painted lips and beauty
Every male craned
In every room
Attention waned
and the boys all swooned
And eyes became upon you
And so it became
In a sitting game of courtship
I came to learn your every favourite thing
wild as wilder
And beasts of lovers bring
the rolling under cotton sheet
Pure memories weave and melt the sleet
And park grass shuttled we love to meet
On cartwheel marched our shuffled feet
and its fiery heat shined
As we celebrated our love
Unleashed ourselves on desire
like fireworks light the passionate pyre
you rang out
a vestule crier
wrote it down in memories
So young
the clarions called us invincible
But with flesh only the temporary guest
On earth’s crust we clung
on fragile lips our purses hung
filled with jewels
we should protest and live forever
was never to be
As cells divided unequally
Within your precious forms
And rogues were sent to take you
So by bedside I find myself
With you beside
The creeping elves
I ask not why they came
For every minute passing by
Is one more with you
And leaving with one last loving look
The sweat of your brow
Takes me back to
That loving brook
where toe tip took us
as you laughing shook
water from a dress
That summer afternoon
dimpled chin of yours I touched
As you lay on white with a heartbeat crutch
Slipping away
The caring now so ever much
For no one wanted you to leave
But alas it must be
And you clenched my hand
In your eyes you hoped id understand
To meet again in future worlds
 into smoke filled room we both be hurled
head first but with toe tips curled
you with fragility of my fighting fist
to defend the memory
of some morning missed
A platform kiss
Something incredible
Romantic
in future frantic, I usher it on.
Looking forward to be beside
to be free of the things that now reside
within cells whom multiply
with dignity die
From beginning, end and back again
I didn’t thing you’d ever leave
Or to greet the day
upon darkness grieve
When this world has one less of you

Beautiful. And it feels like quite a different style for you? - or perhaps I just haven't read enough of yours yet.
Thanks for the comment about mine too - I feel that my voice is getting stronger (literally as well as metaphorically!) and much of that is thanks to writing it out.
