Poem
In A Perfect World-Celebrating my Faves Sponsor: Andrea Dietrich If life was perfect there would be no more cancer... There would be no more painful treatments, but more cleansing of your bones. If only I could drain out your marrow and fill it with my tender kisses. Every time I see that IV I want to rip it out and burn it, sending it to the oblivion of hell. You would be living a healthy, happy and joyous life. Free from the daily struggle to stay alive. If life was perfect you would be sleeping next to me... I would wake up and gaze at your perfect skin as you slowly breathe in and out..in and out..in and out... Now there is no more breath to feel gently on my neck. Nights would bring intimacy instead of sorrow, and mornings would bring me hungry for breakfast, instead of starving for your touch. If life was perfect I would hear your soft voice... Vocalizing with you would be enough to carry me through another dreadful day. My phone would ring and I would memorize every word you said and play the tape over and over again. The tone you would portray would be full of excitement instead of tearful goodbyes. "Oh, please keep talking, don't let me go...." If life was perfect we would dance under the constellations. Hand in hand...body next to body...two becoming one... with a whisper of tunes we danced to at our wedding. No more bed ridden days and praying for you to take one more breath. I had a fear of your last breath, and when it happened my heart stopped beating and my lungs choked up as I drowned in memories of us under the sad moon. I have named a star after you, it's called “My Love Sirius”. It shines all night allowing me to see you protect the earth, like you protected me. If life was perfect.... our journey of love would be shouted for every year we are on earth together... "In A Perfect World" Contest ~1st Place~ Date Written: February 15, 2016
