Lovely imagery and rhythm, Josephine. I like the way it drifts in and out of rhyme.

How terrible, I was hoping this was one of your tales but tragically it is a true story. Too often we hear stories like this, very frightening. I hope his family and friends read your tribute.

Thank you Shifa. You seem to be in a minority.
“The only tyrant I accept in this world is the 'still small voice' within me. And even though I have to face the prospect of being a minority of one, I humbly believe I have the courage to be in such a hopeless minority.”

Wow, just got in from a rather busy old day to find so many wonderful & encouraging comments on my poems!
Thank you Paul Sayer for setting the ball away with your comments! Perhaps I should sign you as an agent ?. So glad you enjoyed them and giving me the encouragement to continue as I'm never sure if they're any good. Much appreciated.
Flavia, again, thank you for your kind comments, always grateful. It's a poem close to my heart do glad you enjoyed it.
Nicola, goosebumps are good!
And yes, the lines of some poems flow quite well as they mostly did on this, and then there's those, as you'll know, that are like pulling teeth! Thank you very much.

Oooh I have goosebumps - what fabulous story telling. I love these lines:
His soul lost its glow
As he faded to grey...
Her world became smaller
Confusing and dark
The rhythm all gone
From her fluttering heart
Fabulous and stirring. Well done.
