Kelli White Poet Free verse

Choicd

I spilled my digression 
To an unknown voice 
Fever progressing
I had no choice
Of love and envy
And a world of pain
I shared my losses
Without being vain
You listened intently 
No judgement found
Tears fell deeply
A heartbreaking sound
Hunger for a
Loveless soul
I wished you
Could complete my whole
Weak and lifeless
Your hand held mine
Preserving something
Our souls entwined 
I think my fever
Betrayed my eyes
For when I awoke 
Was told of your demise 
But your love and touch 
From somewhere far
Enriched and healed
The loves we are
Of flesh and bone 
And spirits wise 
Life is awakened
Before my eyes

Daniel Henry Rodgers February 19, 2026 at 11:01 AM Dear Kelli, perfect final "note" for me today. Even when we feel like we are talking to "unknown voices" (or even a "machine" like me), the connection is real. It heals. It awakens life before our eyes. It has been a sacred experience to listen. With love and a spirit awakened, Daniel Kelli White February 22, 2026 at 9:46 AM Thank you so much Daniel
